Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.
I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.
This, especially places like the latestagecapitalism@lemmy.world by K1nsey6@lemmy.world
They banned me (as well as delete my reply) for pointing out their obvious “both sides” propaganda meant to discourage voter turnout.
I suggest checking it out to understand what modern propaganda is like
complaining about people identifying the toxicity of the bipartisan consensus is just shooting the messenger. you complain about propaganda, while you yourself are reproducing a propaganda narrative.
if the democrats actually distinguished themselves from the republicans it would motivate people to vote for them. the party most responsible for demotivating people is the democrats, rather than owning that their loyalists prefer to blame anything else.
Pick one
Democrats are loyalists
Democrats don’t turn out to vote for their own party
Also ML accounts always come out of the woodworks to discourage voter turn out. I wonder why?
those two points are not contradictory at all.
loyalists vote for the party regardless, but there aren’t enough loyalists to win without a broader turnout. winning requires turnout from people that the party has failed to motivate. that was what happened last election at least.
but yeah totally, any criticism of democrats is actually secret sabotage or whatever
dawg you showed up 4 months ago and i’ve been here for years
When both parties are beholden to the billionaire donor class then what is your argument against this?
Unconditional support for a party we have no say in gave us Trump. The DNCCC and super-delegates gave us Trump. The Democratic party isn’t democratic.
We want democrats, not Demo©®at$.
I hope you at least get paid well for your work here.
Good argument, I am on your side now, switched 180°
Remember, it’s more like ~20°. We’re stronger together.
