Political Memes

1 ) public ignorance is a widespread social force not a personal character fault that happens to individually affect the majority of the population.

2 ) This attitude of moral contempt is actively repellent to the people we need to reach out to, who do not subscribe to your premise. A lot of people don't think they are fascists - they are wrong, but they'll still look at you funny unless you can do a damn good job of making the argument. The Dems couldn't, the media couldn't, and nobody is watching it anyway. WE have to do it. Make better arguments and reach out to people instead of circlejerking and making our opponents arguments for them.

A decent "party" would dispel "ignorance" rather than thriving on it.

That's completely within the bounds of reason.

A over third of eligible voters did not vote.

The couch was a more viable competitor than either candidate.

There was more than could have been done to represent voters' interests.

However fault is not binary. There's plenty of people and even events that take some portion of the blame.

1. People are busy with more important things than social media, YouTube’s, podcasts, and news.

2. People will vote with their communities to retain membership: MAGA, church, the family unit (sometimes).

3. it’s not uncommon for 60% of people not to vote.

4. Kamala didn’t distance herself from Biden. “They’re isn’t anything that comes to mind” was a coffin nail.

5. DEMs don’t sell it well. The story told has to be big enough and potent enough to pull in 1, 2, & 3.

6. What is the point of beating this dead horse? It solves nothing.

This is great. Needs a dash of misogyny though.
