You said it's meaningless, then you made a good point about how it means that the Dems have to be shocked into caring, I think that's very meaningful. Will the Dems scare enough people about MAGA after they've lost once?
I can't find past "engagement" polls, just approval ones, so I can't compare differences between D and R election wins. I do think it's a good question, since Dems can never nominate an exciting candidate, will they just hope for an R goblin that scares people from now on? Romney and McCain didn't scare Dems like Trump did so it would be a new tactic
will they just hope for an R goblin that scares people from now on
Seems like a good time to remind everyone of Hillary’s brilliant plan to amplify trump in the 2015 primary
:hillary-disgust:
That could be bad for obvious reasons, but I wonder if there's a chance of it leading to burnout, to.
Honestly excited to see the roster of exciting new faces that MAGA provides for the next season of The Election.
Picking Trump in 2016 was wacky, but he's sort of a known quantity. An established crowd favorite from way back in the 80s. President Trump was practically just a reboot of President Reagan. I'm really eager to see the more avant-garde candidates that percolated up through the ranks after 2018. Your Allen Wests and Josh Hawleys and Thomas Hicks Jrs have me excited for the future.
Almost like "a return to boring normalcy" isn't a good plan.
And maybe "exciting changes that will improve your daily life" would have been better.
okay but have you considered though that what improves my daily life, might in fact improve my neighbors life, and might improve his life even so much such that, the relative difference of economic distributions and entitlements between us will shrink, and i will be comparatively "poorer" as a result? hmm? have you considered this?
You can't do exciting changes that improve daily life. That causes inflation.
Also, the Senate Parliamentarian said no. We literally did everything we could with what we had. So now we have to give the government back to the other corporate party, because you didn't :vote:
Just vote for Dems again and they'll totally get the $15 minimum wage passed. They need a mandate, or whatever. Controlling every branch of government doesn't count.
POCs vote dem because it's slightly less hellbent on killing them
then tune out because they're, yknow, still killing them
surprised pikachu
The only solution is to brunch harder than we ever have before
It's hard to be engaged because rump isnt on the news and bottomless mimosas are back
We'll see if this works or not. See, Trump has been silenced from speaking to most of the country. No Twitter, no Facebook, no Youtube. He can't get his message out. But his own base has largely been silenced as well, and they've gone off and started their own platforms to talk with each other. Now one of two things is going to happen: either the silencing works and they flop in elections for the rest of the Social Media Age, or they energize their base and come out to vote like never before because they see their backs up against the wall.
they Voted, what else are they supposed to do? politics is when you tell people to go Vote and it’s over now
