Article: "Democrats debate themselves: Why do we suck?"

[pknopp]

Trump is not on the ballot, that's why you destroyers are going down...

We have no idea who will be on the ballot. Trump says it may be him.

Republicans are running some flawed candidates.
Walker, Oz, Lake, Masters, MTG, Boebert

But Democrats struggle to beat them

The reason is they allow Republicans to control the message. Republicans are masters at diverting the issue and turning elections into discussions about Transexuals and CRT

That is true as well.

The reason is they run equally as bad candidates.

This was building and existing long before Escalator Day. He just brought it out. Then it was like a fuckin' volcano.

So here it is, and it's flowing out just like Christian Nationalism is. It's a response, it's pushback, whether it's right or wrong.

My God, what you must think the country should look like...

Let's see...

No pride in your country
No religious grounding
Ostracization of political opponents
No exchange of ideas, just unquestioning followers

Starting to sound pretty close to Communism there pal...

 

[Coyote]

The Democrats have a lot of problems
hate
racism
ignorance
arrogance
lying all of the time about everything
regressive culture
bad schools
epic corruption
abuses of power
dangerous crazy climate change cult energy policy

You could be describing the Republicans.

How are Dems supposed to combat the irrational, reactionary response by some to move towards christian nationalism? How do they change the dishonest narrative the party has abandoned the working class even as the Repubs fight against unions, minimum wage increases, fair labor practices, and the ability to restrict companies from offshoring jobs?

Sounds pretty close to the GOP platform.

Well, let's see...I guess I should walk around telling my granddaughter that she'll never be accepted until she has gender reassignment surgery, and that I am automatically a racist because I was born white?

My granddaughter is interracial btw.

I really don't have a problem with Unions in the private sector, just not in the government sector.

Nobody is fighting against the offshoring of jobs and the minimum wage did not get raised one dollar during Obama's eight years.

Trump didn't and now neither has Biden. We've had a ton of hearings though.

I really don't know. At least for the short term. The party has attached itself to issues and tactics that that simply turn off too many Americans, and that is spreading to the minority population now. I don't see any way that that's reversed overnight.

This is why I fully admit that I don't understand politics. It just seems to me that politics is more about trying to shove one party's agenda down the throats of the country, than it is about working together to create long-lasting solutions to our problems.

So, back and forth, back and forth we go. Currently, we're clearly headed Right.

And that scares the shit out of you doesn't it? Because you know that after 4 years of shoving the malaise of Biden blunder, and plunder on the country a tin can would win as long as its not a progressive....

My goodness...I don't think anyone has crammed such self unawareness into one post....lol

How so? explain instead of your usual hit and run lie...

Senate Republicans Block Bill to Prevent Outsourcing American Jobs

It's amazing how closely you follow my posts, yet still have such little understanding of them.

If you think you can make a point, make it. Only get specific. If you can.

I did get specific, and you threw a thanks at it and ran as usual.

 

[JoeB131]

Obviously what we have been doing is not working.

You know, you have a point. We should totally try socialism like Venezuela where people are cooking their pets now.

You said that I was demonstrating "self unawareness".

Details, please.

Isn’t that what Conservatives mocked as “Halfrican”?
