I’m saying that no matter who they choose for President, MOST people aren’t going to like it. Hillary WAS a good choice in 2016. Bernie would have been better, but Hillary was not a bad choice. Biden isn’t as strong of a choice as Hillary was. We don’t have ranked choice voting so there’s no clear solution to that issue, no matter who you pick.

So, to get the most turnout among Democrats, educate people on why they should care more about their congresspeople than their president. Get them to the polls by appealing to what they can influence, since the presidential candidate choice is moot. It’s a losing strategy to try to rally everyone behind that. Divert attention to all the incumbents with the highest chance of losing their seat, and the seats up for reelection in swing states. Change the strategy and choose who you want as the candidate. People are voting for “Not Trump” more than they’re really voting for “Biden” so they’re going to mark the (D) regardless of the name it’s attached to. We just have to get them to the polls.

They need to stop campaigning on the issue of the presidency and start campaigning on the representatives and senators. People are overwhelmingly going to vote within party lines, and most young people who don’t vote do so because they falsely believe their votes don’t matter. This can be demonstrated to be untrue for congressional elections.

Let the DNC pick a candidate for the presidency who they think is good. The people don’t choose the president, the states do. The electoral college makes sure of that in all but 2 states. Let the people vote for the Congress that the president has to work with. If you only give publicity to the ONE elected role that isn’t really elected by the people, you’ll get more voter apathy.

If your feelings weren’t mixed you either don’t value human life or you don’t value democracy.

Edit: a bystander was killed and so was the 20 year old gunman. This is the human life I’m referring to.

Dated June 2022, folks. This is a repost for relevancy, not news.

People are reporting ghost sightings. They called in the Ecto-1 if they’re real, and the Mystery Machine if they’re a hoax.

You have funded the enemy.

Being a defeatist isn’t helping anyone. Gerrymandering is a problem but it isn’t bulletproof, and broad changes to voting patterns will overcome gerrymandering. Those district borders are drawn from historical voting data, which will become inaccurate if you charge your own status from non-voter to voter

let me put it this way:

Texas will likely NOT flip blue this year for the presidential election. The presidency is not the only thing on the ballot. Other positions are easier to flip blue, which will give democrats incumbency, prior experience, etc. that will make it easier for them to hold higher offices later. If you’re going to foster up-and-coming politicians whose beliefs align more closely with your own, you have to vote for them early in their careers. So you have to vote. So you might as well make your state LOOK a little more purple so fewer doubters choose not to vote next time around

Texas is more purple than you think. PLEASE vote and PLEASE spread the word that every vote matters, because Trump supporters are far less defeatist than Biden supporters. Don’t give them the illusion that your state is any more Republican than it already is by not voting.

They can’t deny that he’s older than dirt, might as well lean into the cuter parts about that fact
