  • Those polls mean shit, if people who vaguely “want progressive policies” then turn back and either vote directly against them, or just don’t do anything. You can yapp whatever you want, want whatever you want, but if you don’t vote for it, or at least against polar opposite, you might as well put your head up your ass and express your opinions to the audience there.
    People who saw Trump, and didn’t vote against him for a candidate that is obviously, demonstrably better on all the issues you can care about, didn’t do it because that candidate wasn’t better enough, they did what they did because they OK with Trump. As to who’s fault it is… I don’t know, human nature probably, lack of education, lead paint, huge number of factors.


  • Oh, politicians will do the changing all right. They will identify the people who vote and will cater more to them, moving further right. Many of them don’t want that actually, but since getting votes is the only way to be elected, and left doesn’t vote, they just have to.
    People though? I don’t know, right now I’m disappointed in all the America, so I don’t believe change is possible. I however will continue yelling at idiots who don’t want right wing politicians but don’t vote therefore don’t express their wants. I will also continue doing public communication, maybe less yelly though.







  • Progressive policies are actually popular.

    Not according to voters patterns they aren’t. Comments on Reddit, threads on Lemmy and shits on Xitter doesn’t do anything if by the end of the day people who are incredibly active in those threads just don’t vote. It is either because it’s actually not a lot of people doing a lot of noise, or a lot of people who don’t know how American democracy operates, and it doesn’t matter if there is a difference. Promises of progressive politics don’t bring votes, simple as.






  • If they aren’t “glued to politics” they will not get any of the messages, so message itself is clearly not the issue here. You will never appeal to voters that don’t care about anything, they can’t hear you. You will never appeal to online left, they don’t care about politics, only about purity contest. You might appear to non-voters, it doesn’t matter they will find an excuse to not vote anyway.
    The issue with this election wasn’t anything Dems could do or not do or did wrong. The issue is that America runs on hate and hateful part is united, and the other half isn’t and never will be and half of it actually runs on the same hate just scared to agree.
    The only mistake Dems made this time is they forgot what America actually is. Next time they will run regressive right wing old dude and win again, but it will not be a win for anyone.
    Win that I want, win for progress is impossible because America doesn’t want it.

    If voters needed additional motivation to vote against that, it’s entirely their fault. “You didn’t convince me enough so now I’m going to kill you”, a line that a cartune villain would say, and we all understand that it’s villain. But " you didn’t convince me enough so I vote for that one who is going to kill millions" is apparently an OK take

    When did you fuckers started caring about policies? Concepts of a plans, that’s what matters apparently, and that’s what you deserve. She probably did herself a disservice even talking about any policies at all, you braindead morons fell asleap the second she started. Well you personally did, since you can’t name even one
