Key takeaways:
  • The DNC operatives blame voters for their loss, labeling them as racist, garbage, or ignorant rather than reflecting on their own strategies.
  • They propose superficial changes, such as renaming terms like "Latinx" to "Latiné" and "economy" to "economé," while ignoring voter preferences.
  • They double down on unpopular policies regarding gender and identity issues, suggesting louder accusations of "transphobia" to silence dissent.
  • Despite losing, they prioritize ideological purity and the approval of media figures and celebrités over winning future elections.
The refusal to self-reflect mocks the performative, tone-deaf approaches to winning voters and also illustrates the disconnect between political elites and ordinary people. It's more important to be right(eous) than to win support.

It really highlights the asymmetry of American politics this past election. When the left was on the attack, they would attack the candidate himself. When the right is on the attack, they get to attack every stupid thing anyone on the left has ever done regardless of whether the candidate herself bought into any of it or whether the issue at hand even has anything at all to do with politics.

Trump would say the stupidest things daily and then doubles down on it, and he got a pass no matter how ridiculous because they said he'll do great anyway. Kamala said one stupid thing 5 years ago and has since walked away from it, she gets millions of dollars of attack ads playing it on a loop to which millions of people revolted against her for it. That's the difference here; Trump was treated as a fantasy, Kamala was treated as a caricature.

How difficult is to create a political party in the US? It's fkn rare to see that there was no courage to go against the status quo.

Easy to create one, almost impossible to convince nearly the entire population of one of the main parties to switch to a new party. That is what is required for the new party to have a chance.

Winner takes all.

A 1.7% margin of popularity is very little ground to make up.

What usually happens is that the incumbent group are likely or not to loose popularity.

Which will depend upon  their ability to actually make any difference to the lives of the ordinary citizen.

So I think that it is more of a case of what will the Republicans do to hold on to power.

As for the Democrats, an eloquent, inspirational, incorruptible leader would be good; but is this possible in U.S. politics?

When the right is on the attack, they get to attack every stupid thing anyone on the left has ever done regardless of whether the candidate herself bought into any of it or whether the issue at hand even has anything at all to do with politics.

It's because you never see a Democrat ever attack anyone who would ever vote democrat now matter how far to the left are, meanwhile the right has to disavow anyone to the right of George Bush. 

Maybe if your candidates would do stuff like say. "Maybe it is bad to cut the dick off of a 6 year old to please his manchausen by proxy mother"


To be fair some democrats such as Fetterman will, but this is about 1% of democrats and tbh they are probably in the wrong part 

You see democrats are a hive mind you can see this with then voting with Biden about 99% of the time while republican congressman voted with Trump about 65% of the time. 

So really it is fair to attack the ideology of said hive mind. If they were individuals with their own brains it would be unethical, but that is not what's going on here.

It's not even that hard once the outsider candidate loses, then you just shift back to a neocon who tries to "bring common sense" back into politics, while praising populist as being misguided but having their heart in the right place.

Fetterman will probably get the Tulsi treatment, for saying normal things.

Trump will appoint him to a position of power.

That's what they don't understand. The Trump coalition is just normal people, both democrats and Republicans. It is a coalition government. It would honestly be about 50% democratic candidate picks, but they went the hive mind rout after 2010

This whole notion is nonsense. YouTuber Destiny recently made a really good point when he pointed out a remarkable asymmetry in the world of political influencers; on the right you get your bonifides by being slavishly supportive of Donald Trump, on the left you get your bonifides by criticizing the current administration.

He's absolutely right. After Biden's debate performance even within the left it was the Biden supporters who were derided as being delusional. Throughout the campaign every left vs right debate was about how bad Trump was, no one on the left wanted to defend Harris cause they wanted to show their independence meanwhile everyone on the right would sit there defending every stupid and ridiculous thing Trump would say and do cause they realized they're not allowed to criticize him.

You see democrats are a hive mind you can see this with then voting with Biden about 99% of the time while republican congressman voted with Trump about 65% of the time. 
Let's turn to Chatgpt:

A study by FiveThirtyEight found that Republican members of Congress, on average, voted in line with Trump about 93% of the time during his presidency.

During President Biden's time in office, Democratic members of Congress generally voted in alignment with his policies. According to various analyses of congressional voting data, approximately 90-95% of Democratic members of Congress typically voted in line with Biden's positions on key pieces of legislation.

So really it is fair to attack the ideology of said hive mind
Not when everything you're saying is just made up.

Maybe if your candidates would do stuff like say. "Maybe it is bad to cut the dick off of a 6 year old to please his manchausen by proxy mother"
Why do the democrats need to respond to such ridiculous contrived issues? How many 6 year olds have gotten their dicks chopped off during the last 4 years? How many of those are a direct result of some policy that democrats pushed for? How many democrats campaigned or even prioritized anything like this?

All you guys do is look around for all of the stupidest anecdotal examples of someone on the left taking an idea to it's extreme, compile them, and then pretend that represents the entire left and especially the candidates themselves. This is exactly what I was talking about. On the left we hardly need to look any further than the words that come out of there cult leader's mouth himself. It's a ridiculous double standard, but it works in politics because most people are idiots.

Latinx

I think it's stupid in most cases to allow transwomen to play in women's sports

I think those college protesters acting like Hamas are the victims is pretty stupid

I think it's stupid everytime someone acts as if America has made no progress on issues of race or says something like black people aren't free.

Make America Fat Again { MAFA } at cost of ecological environment attempting to sustain 8 billion plus humans, who are all striving for the high end standard of USA citizen is globally dumb.

Your above Trumpet comment is  correct, however, you leave out the other lizard-like weirdo qualities of:

  ....staring  into the camera at presidential debate and never look at your opponent,    --cause he feared a  K Harris---,

......false narrative { the long/years list },

......stalk H Clinton from behind her back on presidential stage --cause he did not fear her---.

This is a fair and valid complaint. I suppose it was done to counter the narrative that allowing states to regulate abortion kills women. But the solution for both sides is compromise and to reject support for the absurd. You actually had politicians on the left defending the practice of mutilation for minors (phrased as rights for minors) solely on the basis because Trump opposed it. That's just not rational or sane, and it definitely does not resonate with the voters. Democrats vastly over-counted the amount of Orangemanbad voters in the country.

My guess is that you fear all women, ergo, your support of the cult of MAFA, Trumpet and the evangelic, immorally indecent, virtual rape of pregnant women's bodily autonomy without their consent.

The lizard people have taken over the asylum  institution part of government by MAFA, for MAFA under our economic God and the false narrative.

Now we wait and  see what they do for an encore. Gaetz was not a pretty sight, even tho he was Trumpets first pick, out of love for him.  First lizard mistake.

Nice, but Harris never disavowed those things. She didn’t state any opinion on “Latinx” but generally implied support for the other positions.

Responding to a general assesment with an anecdote is not a fact check, especially when it doesn't even address the issue that was raised.

Implied support... In other words her positions on [insert niche issues here] weren't clear and certainly weren't priorities she felt the need to address, but because someone on the left did or said something crazy it made sense for people to saddle her with it and then vote against her for it, regardless of whether the issue even had anything to do with actual governance.
