Yeah dude really we get it the right are bad and they're evil but holy shit how come the Democrats have to be so fucking awful at their job?

You're going to get downvoted, but You're not necessarily wrong. So often the Democrats take the "high road" and let Republicans walk all over them because the Republicans don't care about the rules or about decorum.

And Democrats are SO BAD AT MESSAGING. I mean my god, they should be shouting their successes each and every time they speak, but you really just don't hear it. And every new movement gets so easily misconstrued by Republicans because of the nature of how complex the ideas and solutions are, so actual intent gets lost in "defund the police" and "black lives matter" (both of which I wholly support, so don't come at me). Those phrases mean something extremely important, but it's too easy for Republicans to make them sound like they mean something bad.

And journalists don't care because controversy sells, not wins.

This has more to do with most media and social media being owned by billionaires putting their thumbs on the scales. They support certain social issues to seem leftist but they are all conservative financially and on anything that could affect their bank account. There is very little true left leaning media in America.

Making the case that the government needs to step in and take control of many if these issues, but Dems dont want that either because wE'rE a cApiTaLiSt nAtIoN.

And DtP and BLM could easily be advanced by simply posting videos everywhere of police brutalizing white people , because the right cheers when they see police brutalize blacks. Dems DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE DEALING WITH

no edgelord, we get it, we simply don't care about you.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well that's great because your way is working so well that we have the same lineup we had three years ago

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes. If you'd cared back in 2022 to begin campaigning on a replacement candidate (I canvassed for Bernie) I could understand your outrage.

As is, the rest of us have a job to do. If you're not in on the better of the two, you do you champ.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So the DNC told you "fuck no you get no replacement candidate!" and especially the one that they already kicked to the curb twice and you think the problem is me?

Yeah, maybe I should sit this one out then.
