This is because there are a lot of very stupid people.
Maybe if Biden had given Liz Cheney a medal before the election, all those "stupid" people would have gotten the hint.
I'm talking about the Liz Cheney who complained about Trump but when given the opportunity loyally voted for all his policies while she held office. Not some other Liz Cheney-- specifically the one wearing the medal of freedom handed to her by a democratic party president after she actively shat on the public.
One thing we can all agree on is that the Dem leadership learned much from the bungled election, right? And it looks like they wont repeat their previous stupid mistakes.
/s
And they're all in the Democratic leadership.
How the fuck can the public at large be expected to recognize Trump as the fascist threat he is when the opposition itself doesn't even slightly take the issue seriously?
Democrats are not the party of leading by example. They're the party of "Do as we say, not as we do."
They want lockstep voting for their candidates no matter what misgivings the electorate has, but always find some Manchin to come up with some nitpick to block legislation.
They want us to treat January 6 seriously when they demonstrated that they had no interest at all in prosecuting.
They want us to treat our votes as something valuable and precious that we must jealously guard so that we never lose them. And then they don't try to shore up voting rights. And don't hold primaries. If you regard voting with such contempt, why shouldn't we?
Oh no, don't you realize , the DNC is going to magically change and actually win elections consistently for the next 20 years so they can reverse all that trump has ruined. The only catch is you can't talk about how unlikely that is and you have to stick your thumb up you ass until then otherwise it won't happen and it's your fault.
