Spent some time watching reactions from the Democratic side. I was shocked to see very little (righteous) anger from the mainstream sources
I'm so sick of seeing all these rich, established liberals on tv talking about "We just have to keep fighting! Don't give up hope!"
That's easy to say when you've been clearing $500,000+ annually for the past 15 years for being on tv.
The rest of us are about to get fukked in all areas of life.
I wish they'd grow a fukking backbone and stop being "the good guys".
I'm tired of this shyt.
THINGS I BELIEVE THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO FOCUS ON FOR 2028:
1. Stop fukking pandering to the LGBT community: Gender non-conforming 19 year old college students with dyed hair and Doc Martens don't fukking vote. Plus, many of the older people in the LGBT community tend to be high earners, which means a lot of them probably secretly vote Republican for financial reasons. fukk them.
2. Stop fukking pandering to Latinos AND other non-White immigrants. The bulk of these people were raised in conservative households and are here for business/moneymaking opportunities. Not to dance with Beyonce and Cardi B. fukk them.
3. Lighten the fukk up on abortion access. Otherwise, you won't beat the baby killer accusations. The majority of women who ACTUALLY vote are middle-aged/older and have either already had kids or can no longer have them. Many of these women either had abortions in their younger years and feel guilty about it, or because THEY ACTUALLY HAVE CHILDREN, they understand that a fetus is a human being, not a fukking clump of cells or a parasite. Despite the rare exception cases, everybody knows deep-down that most women (and the men who pressure them to get one) use abortion as a form of birth control. That's the harsh but honest truth.
4. Focus on courting working-class, blue collar Black and White Americans. Working class Black and White people are the backbone of the American economy, not the immigrants who come over here and decide to vote Republican as soon as they get their money up so they can further benefit by getting a tax break.
5. An extension of point #4: Please -- for the love of God -- stop associating with celebrities. People who are struggling financially don't give a fukk about Lady Gaga, Paul Rudd, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hanks, Taylor Swift, Cardi B, etc. Corporate backing along with high-profile celebrity endorsements screams "establishment".
6. FOCUS. ON. THE. ECONOMY. fukk "decency". fukk "democracy". fukk "civility". fukk "tradition". This election has shown that people only really give a fukk about themselves, their money, and their family at the end of the day.
7. Stop trying to prop up a female candidate. It's not going to happen. Give it up. In times of turmoil, people (especially women) look towards a man to "save" them, and Trump's mouth-breathing supporters see him as "Daddy", even the men (). Viewing it from the Democratic side back in 2020, Biden was the father figure that was supposed to save us from 4 more years of Trump's fukkery.
8. They need to run a left-wing parallel to Trump: a guy who's fiscally progressive but more conservative-leaning, socially speaking. Not socially conservative to the point of exclusion, but just enough to a point that he can attract "normal" voters without potentially turning them off.
This is the only way I see Dems having a chance in the foreseeable future.
It’s funny you mentioned celebrities
Because it was funny listening to women and msnbc and cnn when Taylor Swift came out for Harris and everyone was like
Harris got this because the swifties are going left..And of course the Beyonce shyt
It’s funny the Dems are now 0-2 when parading Beyonce name out here with Hillary and Kamala
