really good insight and it sounds like a good opportunity for the DNC to find those channels rather than give up and court suburban conservatives.

you make a lot of really persuasive points. if only the campaign had communicated them.

i think the chronically online politics sphere overestimates how much the average voter knows by about 100-fold and that’s why we get comments like this.

when mcdonalds releases a new burger and no one buys it, we blame the product and the marketing. but when the DNC drops a new candidate, there is no room to talk about the candidate or the marketing for some reason—it’s all finger pointing and blaming one another for not “just getting” information that’s all but kept hidden from a population with >20% rates of low literacy.

The time to resist was at the ballot box.

the quiet part out loud. :( pay attention to why you said this. politics and loving your neighbor does not end on election night.

honestly good on us for learning and quitting the cycle of clicking the outrage headlines and instead working together to minimize damage as a community

the resistance, if it exists, is you, not some profit seeking ad-running corporate entity. i hope things keep being this way.

i think there’s a bit more to the story than that but sure haha

edit: looked him up and he was an adviser to reagan? ew.

oops! you put words in my mouth :) common mistake.

i hate how people cram words into your mouth like this. thanks for being sane and normal. :)

i get and agree with the sentiment that donald trump will be worse in relation to the unbridled support of genocidal israel

but framing 40,000+ murders as “you haven’t seen shit yet” is inappropriately dismissive. we have fucking seen shit. have some empathy when you use other people’s suffering to justify your internet argument.

i need this information to start being treated as the act of oppression it is rather than the “americans dumb lol” framing i see even in leftist spaces.

americans, and disproportionately minority americans, are being intentionally refused education in the same way they are refused medical care—in service of cost cutting and privatization interests rather than public wellbeing and economic wellness.

thank fuck there’s at least one other angry & correct person online

you don’t get to capitulate to donald trump’s racist violent classist framing on everything for years and be held blameless after the fact.

thanks, i have corrected my misreading in an edit. apologies for any undue hard feelings.

“women deciding what to do with THEIR bodies will eventually face the opposite (further misogyny) and that’s THEIR fault, actually”

sexism apologia? upvoted on my fediverse? it’s actually not a fucking surprise. this place is a toxic masculine hellhole

for the record, in no case is it acceptable to blame the self-preserving actions of a minority for radicalizing the majority. that is the language of abuse and oppression.

says that the Democrats have a messaging problem with working-class voters

Every other comment here is ignoring this word to the point it almost seems intentional. Read it carefully. Low-income union voters who swayed Republican are voting against their self interests, yes. But this was not adequately communicated to them.

This union leader isn’t saying that union voters are blameless. They are saying that union voters were fed destructive information which compounded with existing white supremacist and conservative bias.

Lemmy read the post challenge, impossible.

already exists, amazingly

but then alphabetize it for readability

OOOSSS

I’m just as critical of Biden as anyone here, and I’d vote for anyone else the DNC put up over him in a heartbeat. But holy shit this entire article is basically saying that Democrats are using Project 2025 as an excuse to deflect criticism from him, ignoring the fact that we’ve been wary of the Heritage Foundation since its inception. It’s actually a good thing that it’s finally getting attention.

thanks, genuinely lmao. the trolls have discovered they can throw around the word “troll” for fun now i guess 😭

genuinely huh? why must you be so unkind i just shared my thoughts based on knowledge of the past :/ this site is so nasty sometimes
