It might sound silly but I honestly believe that the Democrats insistence on being civil with the right is the biggest thing holding them back to the point of self-sabotage.
Kamala, Biden, whatever could have got up on stage and mocked the shit out of them. "People can't even afford homes anymore and the right want you to care about what a cartoon M&M is wearing? You want to vote for that joke? You think those people are going to help you pay the bills? No, they're too busy tweeting about Potato Head dolls. 'I can't pay the bills but at least Elon turned the pistol emoji back into a real gun!' pathetic!"
Of course we know why they won't, because they believe half the dumb shit the right do, and because they aren't trying to win over the public, they're trying to win over rich donors, all of whom are economically right at the least.
So we get "I want to reach across the isles." civility towards the right and mild empty promises towards the public (barely do that anymore)
Anyway, fuck liberals for letting the GOP win time and time again. Their weakness towards the right proves that they have no interest protecting the marginalised groups that rely on them. They only people they have to blame when they lose are themselves.
if they did what you say in your example that shifts the focus back on the real problems which are structural and rooted in the economic dealings of the ruling class who pay their bills so it will never happen
I hate that I wrote like 8 paragraphs to try to say what you said.
(I must have started typing before your comment posted, because I didn’t see it.)
