It's especially funny when people ask how voters don't seem to care about abortion/didn't they know electing Trump would get rid of abortion? If you live in a deep red state, abortion has never been a real issue that factors into anyone's calculus. Me being pro abortion has about as much real impact on politics as me being a communist. Even the Democrats here are anti-abortion.

mila kunis posted:i'm being too harsh on corruption. even corrupt party machines used to actually deliver something to keep themselves in power and do incidental good Yes, that's the really confounding thing about it. No matter how much it's in their existential interest to do so, Democrats refuse to do politics. It's more than just their class or fundraising interests preventing them from doing literally anything - there has to be some kind of ideological blinder that leads them to total impotence. Democrats are watching Republicans cut the brake lines of the electoral system and just going, "you'll be sorry when I start driving that thing around and everyone sees what you've done. I'll wrap myself around a loving tree, and then you'll be really sorry."

DoubleDonut posted:the neoliberal consensus in the Democratic Party and news media see “doing things that will make your citizens want to vote for you” as cheating at politics, as if politics was high school debate club I felt like this was simplistic at first, but I think there is a lot to it. Like when Nancy Pelosi said, "we're all about identity now," she meant it literally. Democrats are selling people a basket of cultural signifiers that reinforce their own sense of superiority over others. Voting Democrat proves you're a good person, and that's all that counts. Democrats themselves only need to serve the whims of market forces, because as an advanced bourgeois dictatorship those are the only forces that count.

Flesh Forge posted:it bothers me that the lesson they're taking from that is "inclusive language is bad" when I expect a portion of respondents literally went "oh that's what Hillary said, gently caress that" It does give the impression that the only people who use "inclusive language" are disingenuous liberals. "Unity is our strength and diversity is our power," is social fascist language.

Trabisnikof posted:if it is a dog whistle for chuds aren’t a bunch of people admitting they’re chuds because they can hear it? The Middle Class is "real," and I don't think it's just a dogwhistle. They're also real stupid. There's a significant population out there still with middle incomes who only care about property value & taxes, and they all vote.

ikanreed posted:I think it's not just student loans, which is materially relevant for college educated under-40s. And wouldn't be this slow, steady decline rather than suddenly right now. I think the media overplayed their hand with all the negative coverage of the Afghanistan withdrawal, leading directly into openly questioning Biden's senility in public. That opened the door for everyone to start complaining about the Biden administration - and it's just been betrayal after humiliation ever since then. All the weak scolding from Democrat dead enders is only making it worse.

Trump would've made a big show of declaring to pull out and then not do anything like he did with all of his other big initiatives. It would've come to a head when the Taliban launched their offensive because we were breaking the agreement to withdraw.

Lord of Pie posted:they've been dead for a while, it's just that the stink is finally getting to be unbearable The last chance for the Democrats was in the wake of 2016 when a world historical humiliation would've given the party enough cause to clean house of all the incompetents and take the party in a new direction. Instead they doubled down on their failure being Russia's fault, and clinging to power set themselves up for an even more total humiliation in the near future.

CaptainACAB posted:Nah they are committing suicide because their ideology demands they do and is packed with contradictions that will inevitably destroy it every time, but they cannot correct because it would cost the bourgeois demons money. They're ideologically committed to surrendering sovereignty to the bourgeois and having society ruled by market forces. If the market decides Democrats are redundant then that's how it is.
