    Yeah but their opponents are the Republicans, who are mirror image rubes and fuck ups. People also said the Democrats would never win again in 1980 after Reagan swept Carter.

    Not to mention that candidates in America don't win based on popular issues. That influences things but what issues are even available and which people are at the podiums is the jurisdiction of capital. The president is whoever capital allows the president to be.

      people have said that [insert party] will never win another election again forever in this country. people said that reps would never win again after obama in '08 and before hillary lost in 2016 (lmao). after the dems didn't totally shit the bed in the midterms in 2022 people were saying it. after 4 years of trump and his cabinet stumbling around breaking things and being annoying in the news every day the dems will be looking a lot better to the average voter than they do in the immediate aftermath of 4 years of brandon
