Party of fiscal responsibility. I swear, Democrats just suck at messaging as they have so much ammunition on why Republicans are incompetent child raping asshats, yet they never go there.
I am no strategist but it feels like if the Dems bought billboards and ad time across the country with some basic messages, data on simple charts, etc, we could be running the show for good. There’s just so many opportunities. Abortion is up after Roe is overturned. Turns out we were right, and we weren’t a cabal of satanic baby killers. Debt is way up. Republicans always crash the economy, as a graph of unemployment over the last 30 years shows. Sexual abuse and corruption run rampant among conservatives. Etc. But none of this gets hammered on.
Because they’re complicit. They can’t challenge the system because it works for them. Which is why the most progressive legislation is always proposed right after Republicans take control of either chamber.
The Democrats don’t want change, they want things to stay the way they are, or at least, only move to the right a little bit.
It doesn’t matter that one party is objectively worse than the other. That we have actual ghouls and goblins in charge of the government, because the other half of the government kinda wants them to be there. So they can point across the aisle and say “man don’t those guys suck? Shame there’s nothing to be done about it…”
This 👆🏻The Democratic Party is neoliberal and pro-business. It usually aligns itself with the interests of corporate America, many of whom actually support what the Trump administration is doing atm.
Besides, many individual senators personally profit from Trump’s lowering of taxes, removal of legislation and manipulation of the stock market.
Not to put the blame on anyone, but Americans look to me like an a-political people. There is no large, organized opposition movement against the Trump administration. Moderate Americans are stuck thinking the political fight is something they can outsource to the Democratic Party.
