How are Democrats not running ads about how "Donald Trump wants to kill your children."
It's all one power structure.
Yeah we can really see how both sides are the same. I remember when Biden was virulently anti-vaccine, while unleashing a personal paramilitary force on the population, while destroying our relations with every other country, while starting a war with Iran to distract from him protecting child rapists.
Oh wait, no I don't. Because only an absolute fucking moron could possibly believe both sides are the "same".
The democrats are still a ragtag bunch of enabler pussies.
If you attack a party for something well in advance of an election, it loses its effectiveness before election day. People get desensitized to the message and it no longer impacts their decision to vote or who to vote for. If you noticed during the last election, different promises were made at different times. They waited to promise full legalization of cannabis until the last minute for a reason. There are also alignments of promises or points emphasized during primaries based on which state primary or primaries are up next.
Because they are complicit. The two parties are not the same, they differ on a few dozen topics, of which the public is acutely aware. For the other 1,000,000+ issues, they are either in agreement or are complicit in Republican ideology.
What "million plus" issues are there?
Fuck this "both sides" nonsense, it's so goddamn stupid. Sheer fucking delusion no different than MAGA delusion.
I don't fully buy into the 'both sides are the same' argument. I do believe the two parties are not different enough though. Basic shit like universal healthcare, civil rights, taxing the wealthy by closing loopholes, etc. should be what the left is doing in my opinion.
Both sides same is meant to deter people from voting.
its called a uniparty, those on the outside us, call it a coalition party single party, they pretty much are. thats why you notice they act as one, and only have disagreement on some things and nother others. WAR, defense, israel, foreign aid, bailouts are off limits to opposition.
but CULTURE WAR, SJW is a little healthcare(just not enough) is ok to fight for.
Would clash with the "Donald Trump wants to fuck your children." ads.
Donald Trump wants to play fuck marry kill with your children
Because the frontal attack just reinforces his position. The right wing populist playbook is all about the victim complex and it has some known bugs in human "rationality" helping out as well.
Fuck marry kill should not be a pick two of three
they are too busy worrying to not offend both houses why MITCH MCCONNEL isnt replaced. beshear is pratically acting like tim walz, non-confrontational approach, dont rabble rouse. while when the gop does it, they can go scorched earth all they want.
They are controlled opposition. Their only function is to pacify the left and make sure no actual lefties make it out of primaries. They answer to the ruling class same as Republicans.
having an actual left actually hurts the republicans too, thats why they demonize it, becausit shows there are alternatives to right wing, alt right political parties, then jus the GOP.
FFS, please shut the fuck up. The "lefties" in Democratic party that are super popular around here are Democrats as well.
The numerous measles outbreaks and thousands of infected children are doing most of the having lifting already. No need to spend money on what local and national news are already spreading for free.
The Democrats have bigger fish to fry – – mostly, making sure to get enough voters to the polls to make sure we win the midterms and issues such as the war in Iran and general affordability issues, not to mention Epstein.
i dont think midterms will save the lameduck DNC, considered how slotkin, SCHUMER, hakeem, booker is acting, and of course mark kelly, not surprise being from a formerly red state like AZ he would be a conservative DEM, he recently swore fealty to israel.
Ugh.. all I can say is that I hope you’re wrong
And I feel fucking disgusting for voting for both Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Jefferies used to be my house representative. That fucking useless shit. I feel dirty for helping get that guy elected in the first place. Yuck. What a fucking letdown.
He promised so much, and delivered exactly fucking nothing. I met him once. Shook his hand. He lied right to my goddamn face. What a fucking bastard.
I don’t even get me started on Corey Booker. Fucking New Jersey… Those assholes can’t even pump their own fucking gas
what for? Magatards will keep voting Republican and the rest is either not listening or will vote Democrat and silently hope for the best
They're too busy attacking DSA candidates
The Republicans (Midas Touch) probably is.
Democrats are almost entirely pussies and even in many cases complicit.
meh...if he doesn't kill them, a few firearms around the house will.
I'm not sure who exactly you mean...
Candidates wouldn't be running election ads yet.
Like, who do you think should be running ads. And what would the purpose be?
They mean not running them yet. These ads are annoying as shit, if you over do it, it backfires. The election isn't until November.
So you think....
They're asking why Dems aren't currently running ads in the future?
Everyday is a surprise I guess...
No, I have no idea why you're having this much difficulty.
They're asking why they aren't running them now. I answered that.
You didn't answer anything, you made the same assumption I did, I was just smart enough to ask for clarification while you jumped in an existing conversation to make a random ass guess
Frankly, I'm just going to block you so if you do this again, I won't know.
Please do, you are an absolute fucking moron.
There are so many issues to attack him on that this one looks minor. I think I heard the DNC is pretty much bankrupt too.
