Republican voters don't care about the truth, they just care about having their feelings validated.

I feel like most moderates who aren't just right-wingers in disguise already know what's going on

Why you do people fixate on Republican voters? I never said republican voters. I said the fence sitters that somehow exist. There are more than enough of those fucks to make a massive difference in the elections.

The issue with the fence sitters isn't that they don't know what's going on. They just don't trust either party to do anything about it.

And that is the point of messaging. Make ads, get the message out there. Doing nothing is literally doing nothing and letting republicans control the narrative.

Ads won't be enough. Democrats always talk about how they're going to fix problems but then never actually do.

People are starting to realize that talk is cheap and they need to put their money where their mouth is. The question is whether or not Democrats are willing to do what needs to be done, or if they're still compromised by corporate money.

Ads are doing great for Republicans who talk about nothing and just whine and somehow win. Telling the idiots that Republicans are literally doing everything in the power to vote NO on everything is far better than doing nothing. Not sure why you think doing nothing is so great.

I'm advocating for the opposite of doing nothing. Democrats need to do actual, tangible things other than pay lip service to things people want. Otherwise, they're going to fail to generate any real enthusiasm for anyone coming out of their party.

The Republicans' strategy only works because their voterbase is largely uneducated racist morons. Democrat voters are much smarter than that and more skeptical as a result.

Which is why Democrats need to make ads telling them shit.

"Vote for Biden even though he's not even trying to do anything to improve your lives!"

And what the fuck can they do when republicans block everything? They either need to get rid of or change the filibuster or get rid of the republican party and make a new conservative party.

Which is better than republicans who will do everything to ruin your lives.

Gas was over $3 cheaper here in my state at the end of Trump's presidency, and so far all we've gotten out of Biden is "I can't do shit cuz Putin."

Man, this guy is just so full of hate. Why should I believe you've got the best interests of everyone at heart? And not just those that agree with you?

Based on the available evidence, the thing Democrats should do to avoid losing in the midterms is have 9/11 happen. Every other strategy and attempt to avoid this fate has failed. All this arguing is rearranging deck chairs.

why are you under the impression that i have everyone's best interests at heart? there are plenty of people whose interests i don't give a fuck about. white supremacists, fascists, domestic terrorists, etc.

So high gas prices are Biden's fault?

Did/do you believe Trump had the best interests of everyone at heart? And not just those who agreed with him?

This happens every time with you children.

Me: (States claim)
X: Actually, that's wrong you cretin.
Me: Ok, why?
X: Ugh, I can't believe you don't see it. It's so obvious that you're not even worth trying to discuss with.

Every time, without fail. Guess discussion really is dead.

Inb4: "He's just trolling." That's usually the next step.

Are you discounting Clinton's presidency?

You see what happened to the post? Do I really need to explain to you that there are some topics you cannot discuss freely on this site, as in only one perspective is acceptable?

Are you saying only one position on abortion is allowed here? Because I've definitely seen posts advocating for complete illegalization or severe limitations never get modded.. maybe it was the language in Rambo's post?

Sad_Face posted...

No I did not defend the Buffalo shooter.

I suppose I'm defending Sad_Face - iirc he said something along the lines of the manifesto being fake/a false flag as it hit too many perfect points that allowed for criticism of guns and white supremacy

Correct me if I phrased your stance incorrectly

because the democrats are a waste

I don't think 9/11 2 would even help them

Imagine if Americans were intelligent. Wed be a god tier country.

You want the Democrats to win? Help them receive a supermajority in both the House and Senate. Help people get registered to vote. Convince those who don't vote at all to vote. Go out there and help educate those who are oblivious to how Government really works.

If 100% of eligible voters actually voted. I'm sure we'd be seeing much different results.

Probably wouldn't have had the biggest mass shooting in Texas history either.

You could make the argument that if not buying Russian oil is causing that much hurt, Biden could open up the Strategic Reserves to keep supply at the same level, thus not giving gas companies a reason to raise the prices.

The problem is, as best I can tell, the gas and oil companies raise the price just because an executive's secretary sneezed and the number flipped over.

Yet the gas and oil companies are posting record profits while price gouging out the ass. Not really the government's fault there. Well, unless you count the Republicans blocking the bills to counter the gouging.
