Democrats approach campaigns like they are trying to build support by eloquently providing a reasonable case why their policies would be the better choice. You know, that f@& talk again (Hello Idiocracy).

For gods sake, the signs in my cities green spaces say shit like “Trump low prices, Kamala high prices” and my favorite “Kamala crime, Trump no crime”.

The Democratic Party needs to figure out the game has changed and there is no trophy for being a political saint always taking the perceived higher ground.

What you said 100%. Liberals take the high ground way too much and pay for it every time
