I am saying that the genius strategy of calling white Americans evil and mandating indoctrination classes explaining exactly why the skin they were born in made them an evil person probably wasn't a winning strategy for consolidating democratic power.
LOL, you guys sure have a flair for drama when you make shit up.

Even if your working theory is that the country is full of morons, it still doesn't absolve the Democrat party's incompetence of winning over said morons.

Skin shaming wasn't the way to win over the morons in the swing states, and now the Democrats lost all that power. Maybe don't skin shame next time if the Democrats want to win elections. (or IQ shaming for that matter)
Alienating voters is good clickbait, but bad for the polls.

It does as far as I am concerned. The responsibility of maintaining our democracy and our position in the world is not just on the Democratic party's shoulders, it's on the shoulders of every American because the people, not the parties, are the boss. We get the government we deserve.

This is a perfect example of all of my criticisms against right wing voters.

Setting aside the total and stupid lie that the Democratic party skin shamed white people, the point of an election is to determine who will run the government, which in turn determines what direction government policies will go. The fact that right wing voters are such snowflakes that they will cast their ballots not based on what policies they believe will best benefit society but rather what side (which rarely if ever even includes the people actually running) makes fun of them less goes to show why a complete and total imbecilec moron like Donald Trump gets elected. You guys are so pathetic.

Uh oh, Double_R on debateart called MAGA supporters pathetic... I guess you'll all go out and vote now based on that, who cares which party is actually fighting for the betterment of your life, just don't make fun of you. That's what's important.

Lol, that's a wild take, but OK. Guess the common moron has a better chance at saving the Democrat party than the leaders and donors of it according to that hot take. RIP

I guess you will shed no tears for the passing of the Democrat party then since you feel no obligation to reform it to keep up with the times. But keep trying to shove that square peg into the round hole and blame the hole for being round. That will surely work.

Lol, Harris literally had a support group called "white dudes for Harris" which had an hour long cringe fest of apologies for having white skin and balls, capped with a cringe comedy skit with Will Farrell... https://www.huffpost.com/entry/will-ferrell-billy-eichner-loud-white-men-for-kamala_n_672116c6e4b0b049cc42363b

Polls showed these things lost the Democrats a ton of crucial support.

Again, we get the government we deserve. It's up to the people to recognize that a narcissistic moron who in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy decides this is great time to talk about how wonderful he is, how terrible the last administration was, and blame the tragedy on something he has absolutely no evidence whatsoever for... Shouldn't be president. That's not on the Democratic party. You can only lead a horse to water.

And I love how every time something like this that you absolutely cannot defend comes up you immediately pivot to political strategy. It goes to show how dishonest you are. I couldn't give a shit less about it, I'm not a political strategist, just an American with opinions. I leave that to the people whose job it is to care.

lol. Of everything I just said this is the only thing you have to respond to. Sounds right.

The job of the Democratic party is to show the country what it values and how it intends to achieve what they say they wish to achieve. Not to convince stupid people that things that are good for them, are good for them.

We get the government we deserve.

That's fine. In a country run by a moron electorate(your claim), you are going to double down on the genius narratives that Sunny Hostin, Elie Mystal, and Joy Reid push about the evil white man, and call it a day.

You deserve Trump for holding this attitude.

I have no idea what narratives any of those people espoused so I will just repeat mine, and if you have any actual thoughts perhaps you can engage with the points I'm making instead of your usual pointing to what others have said. Here it is, again:

We get the government we deserve

This isn't complicated, we do not need to talk about Sunny Hostin, Elie Mystal, or Joy Reid. Americans elected a moron, therefore Americans deserve a moron. That's it, that's all.

But yet somehow you've managed to rationalize your own position which seems to be based on nothing but an unwillingness to admit that your positions are indefensible by arguing that the Americans who didn't vote for the moron are really the ones who deserve the moron.

You're entitled to your views, no matter how self defeating.

But we really don't have a democracy, and really haven't had a democracy for as long as I can remember, since most people vote the way they are told to vote...by others... so it's always been an oligarchy of propagandists.

For a very long time, the Democrat party had a very strong and solid plan telling the "morons" who to vote for... this year, they somehow forgot how to do that. 

And let's be honest here, the GOP has for as long as I can remember, been absolutely terrible at propaganda, somehow getting the blame for everything no matter what the situation was or who was in power. Something really wrong happened with the Democrat party, and it doesn't seem like it's going to get fixed anytime soon. That pendulum shift may last longer than both you or I would expect.

It's as alien as shit to me also, I feel like I went to sleep one day and woke up in a Fellini movie.  Every time I look at the news, I'm thinking WTF the whole time.

After 4 years of Trump culminating in the pandemic, the American people said, “We deserve better!” and elected Biden. After 4 years of Biden, the American people said, “We deserve better!” and reelected Trump.

Do the American people really know what they want. Trump was not a convicted criminal in his first term. But to re-elect him after he was convicted on 34 felony counts and found guilty? It is back to the Wild West days.

A 5 minute conversation with an average voter is very much enough to learn that average voter doesnt even know what he wants, let alone how to achieve it.

That is why concepts such as “optics” and LCD exist in politics. The advent of radio changed politics, and TV changed it even more. Social media has changed it yet even more.

The previous 6 US presidents were all rapists anr/or war criminals.

So unless you think that average American has some great knowledge on economics and world politics, I dont see how can anyone draw a conclusion that such a person is even capable of voting on those issues.

The very fact that Americans keep voting and keep regretting their vote all the time is a proof enough that they dont even know what are they voting for.

Maybe Americans are sending a message to countries that elect women leaders or have a low military budget.
