Hey democrats, you know what would be even more effective? If your platform, and policy positions, and rhetoric, and voting record, and legislation actually addressed these issues beyond just whatever the next election is.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Very 100% agreed it's in the no shit sherlock category. The american people want you to at the very least pay lip service to the idea that you are going to try to make their lives better. Rather than just calling the republicans bad.
Maybe this time we try literally any cohesive attack strategy? Like instead of just silently gesturing broadly at everything, hoping voters will be inherently riled up about the audacity of conservative fascism.
More “Abundance” bullshit incoming
🤮
Not shedding every constituent who is currently being attacked by the right would also help their strategy, but this is impossible because they have no actual firmly held beliefs.
Who cares what they campaign on? We know they're gonna fold at the slightest resistance
That or sold off to the highest bidder the moment Israel or big corpo learns your a bit spicy and broke.
Yea... But like what would you even do?
I genuinely don't even know what Dems can do at this point to fix 4 decades of Republican fuckery and moving wealth to the top?
Little fixes won't do shit, and there is no way Democrats are bold enough to do something massive like taxing the rich at 90% again.
I'm afraid when Dems are back in power they won't be able to do shit, because they don't really have revolutionary ideas and if they did Republicans would stop them.
Republicans have driven the economy into the ditch and over the cliff, changing the wiper fluid won't do shit.
No, they should just focus on being slightly less worse 🤏 than the opposition.
The Republican party is good for Democrat politicians.
"It's the economy, stupid"
Sort of goes back to that whole Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
