I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

"We offered nothing and lost to a liar who said they would get something if he came back into office. Why did we lose?"
"We said everything was going great when the public was facing hardships and being targeted by systemic and economic inequality, and the dude lied and said he'd solve it. Why did we lose?"
"The last guy was unpopular and didn't push back on Trump to get him jail. And then we said we'd do nothing different as Americans are facing homeless and their bodily autonomy being ripped away from them. How did we lose?"
"We courted Republicans who openly hate our voter base, alienated them by saying we don't need you, and Republicans are too brainwashed to vote for anyone but Republicans. Why did we lose?"
I started having bad feelings about the election when I was watching a progressive podcast and they all cringed when talking about Harris campaigning with Cheney, then shrugged and said "what other choice do we have?"
That is not how you energize your base.
Why energize a base when you can force the people who have to vote for you to effectively vote for the war criminals who aided in the death of the kind?
The DNC knows they have anyone who is targeted by Republican policies, so they can treat them as a safe secured voting base. They bully anyone who doesn't vote for them and then wonder why no one likes them in a national popularity contest weighed by land over people.
"We let the campaign be run by the same people who already lost against Trump in 2016. Why did we lose?"
Clearly, the dems need to be lying more.
No, I'm serious, they need to actually start hitting back in kind if they want to preserve even a sliver of the country. This moral high road shit sounds great but boy, does not seem to work in practice.
What America needs is a sane right party as well as an insanely left party in addition to existing parties..
But they don't even need lies to make Republicans look bad. They just need to push harder
Pretty sure we agree in spirit here. Literally lying might be a bit much, but attempting to appeal to the emotion of their base and not their higher moral sensibilities since, lets be real, the base emotions are far more effective way to motivate a group.
We need to make a parallel yet distinct figure of speech to “leopards ate my face” for this behavior. Not to lessen the meaning of fascist leopards but kind of as a contrasting representation of the successes of evil. Something like…
“I fed the hawks, never knowing they would prey on my flock!!”
We have one
"I did not speak up..."
good point but its a lil dark in tone
So is the world right now
nah i know just mean its darker and less symbolic than the leopard thing which was the whole point of me saying this should exist lol
Why not just "chickens coming home to roost"? I guess there's a subtle difference there...
Hawks decimated my sheeple.
I dont think Dems have any power left anymore. The latest DNC was worse than clown world. And the unhinged ranting by Dem reps against USAID to Somalia ??? or Yemen ??? or BURMA ??? Are effing kidding me ??? Are there no sensible Dems reading the room ???
There's one. The DNC hate her, though.
