I've never understood how so many voters could earnestly think that increasing the overall amount of condescension would ever actually net them more allies & supporters.

Think how boring the world could be with Al Gore. US taking proper actions against climate change two decades ago.
You can't claim world wide pandemic followed by the world war three is boring.
I think the Great Recession was bound to happen regardless of who was in office, but everything else is correct.
Al Gore would have stopped 9/11, preventing two massive land wars in the middle-east, and the subsequent hollowing out of the US middle class.
This is a truly terrible take. If I run a restaurant, and it goes out of business, I don't get to blame my customers. If I ever want to run a successful restaurant, I have to look at my product, marketing, and service and figure out where I failed. If Biden loses, then the Dems need to look at where they failed; I'd start with the fact that they chose not to hold a primary when the majority of their own party didn't want Biden to be the candidate.
How about the democrats actually run a candidate with just a modicum of character and integrity rather than threatening people into voting for them. It should be easy to win against someone like bush or trump and yet they are consistently close races. Thats on you democrats.
But don't worry. We the people don't actually get to vote the new fucker in chief into office. We're too dumb. The electoral college composed of some random people who we don't know is the small group that actually gets to vote for the president. Our ballots are just suggestions.
ITT: “Yeah but it’s their job to ‘appeal’ to me; it’s not my job to vote for them, and I gotta say ‘not the end of democracy’ isn’t a big selling point for me tbh. Dance for me, candidate! Dance!”
Or, maybe, nobody wants to vote for Lo Fat, Tropical Blast, Pride Month GOP when original flavor is still available at stores
So the key to getting a better government is to lower our expectations.
Democracy is when your government holds your (and many others around the world) life, health, and welfare hostage.
Bush Vs. Gore was a supreme court decision. I get the point here but at some point if we don't get a better voting system we're playing with fire. The longer it takes democrats to realize we need ranked choice and proportional voting, the more they risk fascism running rampant.
