The number of leftists saying they've lost the election due to recent events is disappointing. Getting out and voting is all they have to do.
That's not the game. The game is persuading about 100,000 of America's most politically ignorant and disengaged adults across about 6 states.
The Democrats getting a massive hard-on for their civility fetish and conceding the debate to Trump and the fascists for the foreseeable future is the problem.
But gosh. Sure Trump wants to take away my rights, but Biden is like old. I don’t know what to do?
Like many others I would vote for Biden's animated corpse over Trump, but I'm not a mythical "undecided voter"
They exist, sadly.
They're awful. Or, at least, awful citizens. The problem is that the Dem party thinks they're "In the middle", but though some might THINK of themselves that way, that's not what they really are. They're people who vote on vibes. When the Dems move policy right, it doesn't ACTUALLY sway most of them. They don't have real policy positions, and they're quick to endorse contradictory positions as simple 'common sense'. One might think this level of ignorance would lend itself to GOP partisanship, and probably it does in many cases, but I have unfortunately known pretty indisputably non-GOP voters who have this same poor civic education.
Yes, perhaps "legendary" or "elusive" would be a better word choice.
SNL pretty much nails it: https://youtu.be/KAG37Kw1-aw?si=0a6O4mCCtLTv7ium
I think such voters don't have a theory of power, just some "vibes" based on minimal news consumption, so they change with the wind.
On the bright(?) side, at least the woman at 0:55 has turned into a reliable Democrat voter these days because her issue is actually on the ballot...
Seriously, if we just call them stupid enough times, it's for sure going to convince swing-state voters to support our candidate. Maybe use a more patronizing tone next time

We really don't learn. At some point, we have to accept we're the stupid ones if we fail to learn anything from 2016. Then again, we are American, so it definitely tracks. lol
All that said, sorry if that was just a joke, and not meant for anyone but other people already making fun of voters voting against their own interests
