Political Memes

Elections are a popularity contest with weird rules more than anything....

But the DNC kept trying to force uncharismatic candidates with conservative policy down voters throats, and stole funds from state parties to focus on that costing us down ballot races making losing have even more consequences.

They haven't just been putting all our eggs in one basket.

They put it in the basket of a 20 year old shitty child's bike and then put Biden on and pushed him into the interstate.

Voter can't fail a party, but Dems have been failing their voters for decades.

I'm optimistic Martin will change that, enough to give him a fair shot and not just a month.

Or, you know, be the party that at least promises popular things, instead of the party that just exists in idle opposition.

At least we'll never have to worry about Dems after 2026. Maybe some better parties can take hold

Except for 2020 the 2024 election had the highest voter turnout so far this century. A lot of people were voting. Was it just more Trump supporters that turned up? He does have a way of stirring people up. He picks topics that make a certain type of person mad and that brings them out. Kamala could have responded by picking topics that inspired the left. Trump was offering a complete overhaul of the government and sweeping social changes (which he is delivering). Kamala was offering more of the same. I suspect he just brought out more people that otherwise wouldn't have voted.

And before you start blaming me for it, I, like most of us, don't live in a swing state. My vote literally didn't matter.
