I don't think I've ever heard Dems even try to explain why paying taxes is in fact a good thing, so getting them to message something like this feels basically impossible

Well we know that's not going to happen. He's currently minority leader and Pelosi's hand picked successor *because* he's a favorite of the donors.
December 15, 2025 at 6:08 PM
Considering the entire narrative and perception was "open borders," Dems either didn't do enough to message or were terrible at it. Or as is often the case, both.

You'd think being the most powerful person on earth would enable you to somewhat craft a narrative and perception, but I guess not
December 15, 2025 at 5:04 PM
Uh huh...how many times did Biden come out to clearly explain his administration's policy or his stance on immigration? Or anyone in his WH, considering he was incapable of it.
December 15, 2025 at 5:04 PM
Granted it doesn't help to have a senile president who can barely read off a teleprompter, but how do you think voters get ideas or narratives in their heads? If Dems do nothing to shape the message, it will be shaped for them by the GOP
December 15, 2025 at 3:40 PM
It's impressive to be able to somehow spin this to still blame voters for Dem failures. If the administration is utterly incapable of effective communication and the media is useless at best, how do you expect voters to get the message?
December 15, 2025 at 3:40 PM
you seem unwell
December 12, 2025 at 4:43 PM
I know these Dems are shamefully geriatric, but even they weren’t in Congress when those were implemented
December 12, 2025 at 12:32 PM
I have no idea why you keep bringing up Jill Stein, that’s pretty bizarre.

Also just to confirm, you were defending the current Democratic Party based on something that happened over half a century ago?
December 12, 2025 at 12:32 PM
Who is this in response to? It’s certainly not me
December 12, 2025 at 10:52 AM
That’s like saying the GOP today can’t be racist because a Republican president ended slavery
December 12, 2025 at 3:05 AM
I'm sorry, you're not referring to things that happened 60 and 90 years ago, are you?
December 12, 2025 at 3:02 AM
"until this regime is gone" --> that still leaves you with the current congressional dems, who are no less opposed to M4A than Republicans
December 11, 2025 at 8:16 PM
Nope, just saying that incrementalism as you suggested (which has already been tried by Dems and failed) and waiting for the current regime to leave won't solve the issue. Dems need wholesale replacement in Congress if we're ever going to make meaningful progress on healthcare
December 11, 2025 at 8:14 PM
8 of the top 10 recipients of insurance PAC money in the House are Dems
December 11, 2025 at 8:06 PM
Unless you swap out literally 90% of current Dems in Congress and get rid of corporate money, it's 0% for each.
December 11, 2025 at 8:04 PM
M4A would never pass with a Democratic congress either. Dems also take millions from health insurance companies and answer to their donors, not the people.
December 11, 2025 at 7:54 PM
you're underestimating the ability of Democrats to screw up the easiest of messages
December 11, 2025 at 7:51 PM
At what point does blue maga say hey wait, maybe the people who take our votes for granted have actually failed us time and time again and gotten us into this mess? Why is it always the voters’ fault and literally never the party’s fault who continues to fail?
December 6, 2025 at 4:35 AM
You’d think if the Dems had such an obviously better candidate and are so much starter and spent $2B on a campaign against literally the worst candidate in presidential history, it would be a landslide, right?
December 6, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Blame voters has worked so well in the past for Dems instead of reckoning with their own failures, why stop now
December 6, 2025 at 3:43 AM
A good start would be if Dems gave them something to vote for rather than just something to vote against. It doesn’t help when you just lied to the American people for years about Biden’s senility while unconditionally supporting a genocide
December 5, 2025 at 10:56 PM
I held my nose and voted for her, despite her moving even further to the right and being an objectively terrible candidate.

The problem wasn’t that he was old. It’s that his brain was tapioca pudding
December 5, 2025 at 10:26 PM
We all saw the debate. And he repeatedly got humiliated by Netanyahu while Biden was enabling a genocide.
December 5, 2025 at 10:22 PM
It is genuinely insane that this man thought he could do the job for another four years. Or that anyone let him think he could.
