And isn’t the first job of a political party to win those votes and hence the election?
Do you even know what a political party is? It's not some company that you pay to provide you a service. It's not some big vending machine where you put in x and are disappointed you didn't receive y.
A political party is a group of people, largely volunteers, trying to convince people of their agendas.
You're trying to purchase a victory for Dems with your vote but it doesn't work like that. You're treating it like you're in line at McDonald's ordering a burger but getting cat food and now you storm in waving your receipt and want to talk to the manager.
Right, and they’re trying to convince people about their agendas to try to win elections, right?
I don’t expect it to happen like a transaction. But I do expect the very expensive political consultants who the party employs to at least win something.
If a political party is as bad as the democrats at winning and keeping power, what’s the damn point beyond employing very expensive and ineffective political consultants?
The democrats have been failures my entire life, and I still vote for them. I still donate and I even volunteered. And all my efforts are for naught because the party is terrible at doing the first thing it needs to do: Win votes.
It's NOT A SPORTS MATCH jeesus man why can you not grasp this
It's not some external thing that happens or doesn't. Christ civics education is in the toilet in this country.
Why do you think I think it’s a sports match? Let me spell it out for you really clearly/
So do more than just throw money at them?
