The Republicans Should've Faced Way More Criticism During The 2024 Presidential Campaign

Reply in thread

The only way the dems could have won in 2024 is if they did what is popular with their base. This applies to literally every election. You should be furious that they lost to Donald fucking Trump twice because they thought they could win while enacting policies they knew would decrease turnout.

They have their own polling, they know there's not a bunch of voters who just hate tiktok and will vote for tax credits to buy healthcare for first-generation college grads who run a small business in an under-served community for 3 years, but won't vote for free healthcare.

No messaging could have made genocide in gaza popular, it's not the people telling the democrats to stop giving Israel fucking bombs who made facilitating genocide unpopular. The only people who could have changed whether Palestine hurt the dems or helped them were the dems. They decided unlimited support for a genocidal settler colonial state was more important than winning.

No, other capitalist powers arent, but you have more in common with a random Russian than Warren Buffet, just as they have more in common with you than Putin and his fellow billionaires.

Just got a Fairphone 6, AMA

What kind of motorbike would you recommend for vietnam? Redlining a Honda Wave to do 55mph for an hour is awful, but a <200 lb bike is really nice in traffic and when you have to go over curbs, and bigger bikes are more likely to attract police attention.

My buddy got a cb1000r dirt cheap, and hates it in the city, and is constantly paranoid every traffic cop is gonna take the bike or demand a shitton of money.

You're selling the dems short. They've shown theyre capable of facilitating genocide, sending the police to kick the shit out of politically activated college students, the kind who get all their friends to vote, funding ICE, building bigger "migrants overflow facilities".
