dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy

@Dkk: exactly.
dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie
18:58
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh

It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.
but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight

Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left
19:00
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp
ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians

19:01
And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up
yeah absolutely, and our modern left doesn't appreciate that if they eventually want their policies, their best bet is incremental progress, not a perceived revolution

So if you are 19, Trump won his first election when you were like 11. What were you doing at 11?
Dkk

This is just interesting for me to think about.

Wasp do you remember Clinton as president because I do not.
i hadnt developed sentience by 6 years old
19:07
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: lmfao
@texaslawhopefully: actually that was a huge counter biden movement (and harris) re they were held hostage by party politics and any words otherwise were lies that would be walked back, like border action
The radical left views open borders as a human right
they deem us animals who migrate lmfao
Dkk

Okay, man so huh. I barely remember bush as a kid. I remember my parents complaining about him and telling me why they did not vote for him. I technically had bill clinton too but I would have been 3.
hence migrants
meanwhile you view brown people as aliens
Dkk

Man I am trying to remember what I was doing at 11. I think my family had just moved houses and I was going to a new school.
@windyMagician: yeah lol cant say shit about politics without someone jerking off about race realism
Dkk
19:11
@windyMagician: I think it's a pretty mainstream view from the right to view some of them as aliens and some as not.

19:13
@Dkk: Yes, I was 11 and no I was not aware about politics at all
