I’m not sure anyone outside of Twitter actually likes her. Her campaign imploded, her only memorable policy was means-tested into oblivion, and she covered up police brutality. She offers nothing except tokenism.

    The party elected Joe Biden.

    Its base is devoid of substance, and are largely polite Republicans.

    They are unironically going to try the "for every one blue collar, two suburb voters" strategy again. Only it might work this time since they brought the Bush people onboard.

    Dems aren't thinking any further than ticking a diversity box, and prosecutor. No one gives a shit about Twitter, or the debates.

    It's a completely Dem pick. Utterly predictable.

    It's wrong to say they learned nothing from 2016. They learned how to kick us out and get the demographic they always dreamed of.

          I don't really agree with this. There are a lot of relatively apolitical people in the suburbs of basically every city that also somehow always vote.

          These are the people that decide elections and their top concerns are higher taxes and broad economic stability and growth, but no longer vote republican because they capped SALT deductions.

            If someone claims to be apoltical, it just means that their political beliefs align with the status quo - in other words, a lib.

              Yeah, but there's a difference between a partisan back lib who does shit like post Pelosi memes, and someone who doesn't pay attention to politics because they don't have any real complaints.

                  Except they do have complaints, Trump repealed the SALT deduction. It's why democrats took back the house and are constantly fighting for tax cuts now.

                      Look, there are a lot of people that voted for Bush 2x, then Obama in 08, were split on 2012 and are split now.

                      I'm not talking about people who identify with the republican party as much as just like centrists in general, who vote against whoever's fucking up the status quo, are a real electoral force, and they swing back and forth between the two parties.

                          I think there are people who just kinda vote their gut, and they're generally happy with the status quo. This group today is best represented by democrats today, but historically had long been republican. Every congressional district in orange county CA flipped blue in 2018, and that's the place where the modern GOP originated from with Nixon and Reagan.
