I think that points to the democrats need for sneaker based messaging networks. Instead of buying huge expensive ads that nonvoters won’t watch and giving that money out to tv networks why not use the high volunteer base to buy t shirts and restaurant meal coupons then hand them out to people. stuff like that. I think there needs to be more lateral thinking here. Less emails, more tshirts.

I agree with you in spirit but not in rhetoric. I’d call them dipshits.

Except gen z men voted at like a 2% more for trump in a low turnout election its like well within every margin of error that it could be decreasing support since 2020.

The significant portion of the almost 20 million Biden voters that just checked out of politics and decided since everything seemed ok, no need to vote. Thats the media outreach problem. It guarantees that republicans will regain power everytime the economy gets patched up with duct tape.

Its definitely a media outreach problem.

This is largely how non voters have responded when asked as far as I’ve seen: “feels like things aren’t broken, I can sit this out”

Its not a take its just the reality we live in.

those are for sure the ones sticking around

Edit: Literally they’re going to put an “ivermectin covid” guy in charge despite the fact quality studies show it at best does nothing and at worst may be slightly harmful

I’m just saying the whole “state’s rights” things is sort of a red herring. The right believes they don’t have to follow the rules; “crimes are when undesireables do things only I should be allowed to do”

bile is an important part of your body’s functions, don’t compare it to the silly storybook

Literally the civil war started because kansas didn’t want to be a slave state. The whole state’s right thing is just a talking point not a held belief.

I do think that when harris said stuff like “stop price gouging” fascist media made the mistake of airing her and combatting the point - which is weak sauce on their part. More of that would probably have worked. Less ads about trump unfitness more about reducing grocery costs.

This is why abandoning the “grocery store” strategy for “trump said naughty words” was a huge mistake.

they don’t know what they want because the campaign was all about a dude saying bad words instead of any sort of real plan to fix anything. I’m tired of the spin. Harris adopted all the far right framing on immigration and bent over backwards for like half a dozen centrist republicans which lead to low turnout for like the obama voter crowd

Edit: Also apparently now there’s a large sector of people who simply aren’t online and don’t watch tv. Reaching them should be the #1 goal of any future election campaign

Imagine because that’s not even remotely how it works.

All those guys who decided to sit it out on X.com (the non porn site) really did a great job making a difference there. Good job team twitter.

This kind of take is why we’re stupid.

He’s still alive and no longer in hungary? so like rich people might move to their vacation estate for a year or two? this is just ordinary rich people stuff except instead of doing it for a tax cut they’re doing it because they publicly disagreed. Its theater. The whole point is to protect the money piles. It took russia like 20 years to start fussing about rich people that left the country

what are you even talking about? Rich people are last on a long list of scapegoats

magical tariffs no doubt. The worst part is he’s going to be doing it with silicon valley so it won’t take long before they run out of scapegoats.

Oligarchs have all the power now

one way to look at this is that billionaires have been effective at branding democrats as like satan worshipping demons. The two greatest barriers to democracy in america are citizens united and the electoral college.
