    "why won't they vote for us? we keep insulting them, acting against their best interests, and most importantly we aren't republicans."

      This "Lesser Evilsmtm" has always been the main Democrat appeal. But it has been amazing once Trump became the Republican nominee in 2016, how thoroughly the Democrats embrace the belief "we are the party without Trump, how dare you ask for, or have any standards, other than that"

      "Vote if you want your rights!"

      Okay, I'm voting for the American Commonwealth Liberation Party.

      "NOOO! That's a vote for Trump!"

          Listen, Shadow Inc said I need to support Pete Buttigieg so why are you yelling at me for writing in Mayo Rat?

          I thought you didn't want Trump to win.

    28% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ

    Over 70% of that 28% say they've faced homophobic discrimination or hostility

    4% of boomers and 4% of silent generation identify as LGBTQ

    Liberals: "why won't the gayest generation vote for my flavor of geriatric homophobes?"

    LGBTQIA+ is the hottest new brand

    LGBTQIA+ is a key voting demographic

    LGBTQIA+ is an important ad target

    LGBTQIA+ is made up of atomized individuals

    Ok, we did vote, and guess what? Our right to living ain't exactly popular so we lost. Now what, smart guys?

    Definitely the type to brag about the black vote while making sure they never drive towards black-majority areas.

      This is the most wild thing to me.

      If Biden announced the most simple of measures like opening abortion clinics on federal grounds in hostile states (not saying this is the only thing, just the first thing that came to mind) I'd probably vote for him, but that requires him, you know, ACTUALLY FUCKING DOING THE HARM REDUCTION.
