It passes the smell test. Maybe the Democrats should consider taking positions that represent the people.
Are they closer than the positions the GOP offers?
"Hey, we're less awful than the GOP. vote for us"
Is a reason to not vote for the GOP. However, it is not a reason to vote DNC.
"Hey, we care about you and are taking these steps to help you." is a reason to vote DNC.
Moving to the right because it's still less-far-right is going to lose votes. it's that simple.
You'd think they would have figured this out after 2016 yet here we are again in the exact same position for the third time in a row...
Democrat positions:
Republican positions:
So how does that line up for ya both sides bullshit

Not saying dems don’t have a better agenda.
(Though I do say they’re incapable or unwilling of doing enough for that agenda,)
The reality is, however, the argument in lemmy comments is rarely this. It’s “Trump bad you dipshit trump supporter”.
As for the aside up above… republicans are definitely winning the long game because democrats are not willing to pull the needle further left, just fight to keep it from going much further right.
Fear mongering and obstructionism are more effective. I cannot disagree.
Fearmongering works?
‘Member 2016?
Democrat: old genocidal ghoul
Republican: old genocidal ghoul
