Faux-populism. The left isn’t good at that because they’re too buttoned up and whenever they try - the corporate and institutional democrats tell them to stop. Team Biden told Walz to stop calling republicans weird. Sanders was criticized harshly by democrats on TV for calling Bloomberg an Oligarch. Democrats aren’t allowed to use the same language as republicans.
Man no one can call them weird when they just straight up lie or do racist shyt? They took woke and made it a slur but we can’t say anything back or we lose votes?

I suspect whomever capitalizes on a message of a safe and prosperous America that prioritizes Americans and works for all Americans will be the favorite.

Pick your key pitches and stick to that.

Find a couple of wedge issues that you can always point to that will inevitably happen under Trump and just make the media runs and amplify the shyt out the message

democrats aren't allowed to brag about capitalist wins, because of progressives. republicans explicitly brag about it

enough with the fakkity loser mentality. i despise the far left
the biggest loser shyt the Dems did was not campaign on their labor wins, going after tax avoiders, they got the train strike deal done in the end, and instead they're out here cozying up with the fukking Cheneys.

The Biden Admin was the most progressive of my lifetime and you'd never know it. When Democrats run on progressive policies they win --> Obama 08/12, Biden20, Harris for that one week after picking Walz before the convention.

When they try to force neoliberal warhawk bullshyt down our throats they lose --> Kerry04, Hillary16, Harris24. We know they're going to implement it, but just fukking lie like Obama and Biden did and it's an easy dub. Saying you want the most leathal military in your fukking convention speech? They're controlled opposition and idk what to say at this point to people who can't see it. fascism is here and a much worse version will be coming to this country in the coming decades because the contradictions of our system are worsening and there is no effective labor or left wing movement in the US to push back against capital

Hard for Kamala to campaign on Biden’s wins when the entire dem coalition was asking her to run away from it. @blotter

Doesn’t matter. The people who needed to be receptive of her messaging weren’t and never would.

There was no infrastructure in place to to give adequate viral messaging over the hamfisted Biden dropout ordeal.

They should have let her call him old and his time was up and get the puters Putin

Dems also don't take enough advantage of the chances they do have

I'm tired of saying, white ppl love racism, oh well nothing we can do

Meanwhile, Merrick Garland got chosen as Attorney General, after we already saw what happens when ppl with Republican sympathies gdt chosen

shyt is nasty

not to mention the fact that WE ARE STILL the party of gay rights :mindblown:

we all support gay marriage, and adoption, and equal treatment. that DOES NOT include "trannies get to do whatever they want, and indoctrinate children"

i'm really supposed to apologize for that stance, and get called a bigot? :laff:

You are a bigot. Probably closeted too :pachaha:

I’m a progressive l, but I’m highly skeptical that you can win over the white working class via economic policies.

It’s not their main concern otherwise they wouldn’t be voting for Republicans who literally have no policies to help them. The top campaign issue for Trump this year was kicking out immigrants. Their hatred for immigrants is not driven by economic concerns.

Look no further than old seniors. The GOP is constantly trying to cut their benefits and Dems try to strengthen their benefits, but they vote 60% Republican. :heh:

It’s a fools errand to think you can win them over. Pass progressive policies on merit and to attract other groups. Don’t do it to win over white working class voters.

Let’s never forget these is the same class of people who voted for usher in their own economic destruction with Reagan.
