Changing the voting system is the first step.
A lot of smart people have looked at this problem. With years of study, lots of math, and some real world testing, the best option for a replacement is STAR.
At this point, the Dem party consider themselves retired.; enjoying their investor's cash, and playing fiddle while DC burns.
Every Democrat that accepts blood money, fuck you.
Dems don't want to win every election because that would break the scam.
Send in the republicans to loot our money and then send in the dems to fix everything up enough to where they can loot again.
I keep saying this but it feels like the Dems are a Russia-style controlled opposition party.
Doesn't mean 100% of them are garbage, but the leadership sure does seem like it hates the idea of successful opposition
Fix? Best we can do is Most Lethal Military Ever and expanding the programs we all agreed were bad under Trump.
Translation: how can we con men into supporting our platform, as opposed to changing our platform to be more appealing to men and younger voters in general?
Dems: Best we can do is racism and abandoning trans people.
Starmer?
Poor US-americans. They get to choose between shit and shit lite.
The wealthy oligarchs con people into voting for shit by paying the opposition to be shit lite. Nobody wants to vote for shit lite, so if the oligarchs make sure the opposition is shit lite, then shit wins
Wealthy consultants: I know you’ve tried running as republicans-lite. We suggest that you move further to the right.
DNC: brilliant
Don't forget, absolute, unthinking support of Israel under all circumstances. Even thinking about why you support Israel antisemitic, and this issue is more important than any domestic issue. Literally losing to Republicans is preferable to budging 1mm on this .
Bernie: I have +45 on young male voters, and +12 over Trump if elected as the DNC nominee.
DNC: Were going to learn nothing from this, ever.
they'd rather see the corporate candidate lose than the popular candidate win
I'm sure Chuck Schumer will get to the bottom of this after he finishes his book tour on antisemitism in America while being completely tone-deaf on the absolute disdain many of us have for our tax dollars supporting a genocide in the 21st century.
How can we make these voters okay with corporate servitude and still vote for us so we can keep getting all this fat lobbyist money?
...how shall we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...
What does +n favourability mean?
There's 100 people in the room
10 think you're annoying, 80 love you, 10 dont care
A "net" when talking numbers is the difference, so you would have a net favorability of 70%. Because it's the people who like you minus the people who dislike you, and no one cares about the people who don't care.
Quick edit:
I didn't check if that 73% is real or just to make a point, but if it is, 73% net favorability is obviously insanely popular. Cracking 50% overall is pretty much considered a shoe in
How about another fundraising gala? They can use the proceeds to fund another UBI pilot study, just in case it stopped working this year.
Democrats: ......... But why male voters?
Mamdani: you serious? I just told you that a moment ago!
