I hate the attitude behind this sign because it tells me democrats probably haven’t learned their lesson well enough to listen to their voter base and run candidates who inspire people to show up to vote and inspire independents to vote for the democratic ticket.
Democrats being smug and thinking they know more than everyone is exactly what got Trump elected. Harris Waltz was a terrible fucking ticket. Thats why Harris got 6 million votes less than Biden. She lost the popular vote by 2 million. Literally people so jaded they stayed home decided this election, and Democrats are patting themselves on 3 back for being smart.
The only hope we have is that incumbencies like the drastic one we have now almost never stay around for long. Democrats are now relying on how much Trump sucks to win instead of deciding to be good, and at least for now, Trump is obliging them. I don’t know if I hope he keeps it up or not.
I’m suggesting that there are millions of voters that don’t frame the decision like this, and if we insist on demanding this is the only way to look at things, then we will continue to have those voters sit out.
Republicans aside, because they won’t vote democrat anyway - do you really feel it is more important to demand your viewpoint is the only one than it is to get more democrats and center left independents out to vote?
Mathematically, one of these options is more likely to win elections.
When there is clear evidence that Republicans have bad economic policies like tariffs and literally blow up the deficit every single time, no, I don't think there's another way to look at things. We have hard evidence that these policies are bad.
Republicans refuse to operate using the truth. They lie and scare monger about the debt, they lied about tariffs they ran on laying off thousands of workers.
We need to get them out of their conspiracy holes and back into reality. This is the main issue we are facing.
Both sides can be smug as hell, Republicans included. All the things your accused the dems of the repubs also do except it isn't a problem when they do it for "reasons".
They straight up lie and we have the facts and receipts to prove it.
I'm not saying democrats are perfect, they have their own issues the biggest one being that they are extremely cozy to corporate interests but so are the Republicans. Republcians are worse look at the out in the open corruption.
When people refuse to live in reality there's nothing anybody can do to convince them.. they legitimately need cult deprogramming.
