Republicans are actively working to overturn Obergefell, and will likely succeed. Trump having a class-traitor treasury secretary doesn't change that. How many "not-hyper-informed" voters do you think even know that Trump has a treasury secretary in the first place?
Sincerity is *especially* important to the uninformed voters. They're voting based on vibes. How many times did you hear "well, i may not like what he says, but i believe he's being honest" in 2016?
If a politician is obviously insincere, and will drop support for me or my preferred policies the instant that it becomes momentarily advantageous to do so, why should I trust them to fight for me? Why should anyone else?
If you look at the last 10 years of politics, you'll notice that the Right has been winning on almost every issue, even as Democrats have won several important elections. This is because they understand their long-term goals, and fight for them even when they're unpopular
A Democratic Party that is attempting to return to the 90s is a Democratic Party that is headed for extinction. There is no long-term vision here, no plan for what this country ought to look like, only a soulless effort to cling to power by appealing to whatever is popular in the moment
what's this? democratic voters want us to fight trump? no, no i think what we need is to refocus our platform around lead poisoning. that's what the base really wants
I don't think he's gonna be president for life, I think he's gonna die in office and all of the really dark shit is gonna happen in the wake of his cronies fighting to be the next furher
the real problem with America is that there are basically no tiny apartments available for poor, single losers. Japan, an entire nation of poor, single losers has naturally solved this problem already
i lived in Tokyo for a couple years and I was expecting it to be extremely expensive and like, no. it was *cramped*, but if you offered me a one-room apartment for $500 a month i would take it again in a fucking heartbeat
we're slowly creating armies of outsider left conspiracist fanatics who will prove equally destructive to their right-wing counterparts if they ever gain power
