I couldn't believe what I was hearing during COVID, all because he used PowerPoint and talked slick.

And people still didn't learn anything from that, now they're hoping Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg run for President. A guy straight out of American Psycho casting call and an industry plant, like winning elections is just based on looks and optics.

I'm hoping Democratic Party learned more from this election than some posters on here. The reason voters were so energized and young people turned out in such big numbers wasn't because of personal popularity or speaking prowess but because people saw things given to them and taken away from them.

Student loan debt forgiveness, marijuana reform, even IRA to some extent, along with Roe v Wade were reasons for the turnout. And the reason Democrats had control of Senate to begin with was because of the promised $2000* stimulus.

Hopefully Dems understand this and go all out with their final Reconciliation Bill and then afterwards keep sending bills to House for Republicans to reject. But just relying on egomaniacal scumbags with slicked back haircut is not a winning strategy.

Trump was out in the Rust Belt selling lies to blue collar people... guess that counts too :ld:

Trump brought to fruition what they had been dikk teasing Conservatives for decades about with the Supreme Court.

The fact one of their first major moves probably cratered the Republicans should give the Heritage Foundation/Federalist Society types pause…but I doubt it.

Republicans don't even have an agenda, so it's not surprising that gen z is breaking for dems in masses. One side at least tries to make your life easier, the other is just anti whatever the dems do lol. Make America 1920s again aint selling anymore.
