Insulting your base vs. needing a strong "loyal opposition"
Nov 8 2024 10:09AM more by remo_williams
Tags: Current Events


I've watched a lot of news over the last few days and switching around different outlets.

One common theme, is that many blame the electorate as being too stupid to see things they way they see it, whether it's Obama telling black men to fall in line and don't think, just go to the back of the bus & vote as you are told.... the republicans will "put you back in chains"(Biden)..... to Jimmy Kimmel nearly crying on stage.

Say what you will on the "messaging" or whatever you will on why Kamala lost, insulting the people you want to vote for you, as stated above, or telling Trump supporters that they are fascists is NOT a way to grow your base.

And people wonder why Trump won the popular vote, increased his margins, and as last I saw, Kamala did not improve in a SINGLE congressional district over 2020.

Here's my point - The Democrats need to up their game, and listen to the American people, they will benefit, the republicans will benefit (by becoming stronger themselves), the American people will benefit.

To make a sports analogy - the 'power four' NCAA conferences - nearly any one team in an Big 10, or an SEC conference take them out and put them in a weak conference would be superior, would wipe the slate..... the Democrats need to learn from this and start addressing the will of the people.

It's been a long time since they actually 'ran' a presidential candidate. They're out of practice.

I'm sure it's just a "joke", like the "comedian" at Trump's MSG rally talking trash about Puerto Ricans.

bwana,

I heard that comedian was just hired entertainment to entertain the MSG crowd before Trump arrived...people who were there said that it was an all day event, and said comedian's tasteless comments about Puerto Rico were made 4 hours before Trump went on stage...and on that day, 4 hours before going onstage in New York, Trump wasn't even in the state at the time! The only ones that pinned the garbage comment on Trump was the media and the Kamala campaign...it looks as if the voters surely didn't.

Puerto Rico THE ISLAND has a problem with actual trash washing up on the beach.

Of course, it wasn't very smart of that comedian to give the MSM and the Dems any excuse to misinterpret the joke, deliberately or otherwise.

One good thing is, apparently 10 California counties have flipped to Repub's.
LA, OC, Riverside and San Bernadino and others. I thought Riverside already was one.

then again, if those on the left continue to say ' but look at trump"

that's the same as admitting that they have no positions on their own, or they hope you forget they flip flopped.

If Dems have no ideas of their own, then they won't win any elections - right now, they are lazy and taking their dwindling base for granted.

Let's see how long Dems can keep the (insert identity politics tag here)

This election season, Republicans were the party of ideas, the Dems were stupid, fat, ugly, and lazy, not the way to win votes.
