“If liberals are so fucking smart why do they lose so goddamn always?”
- Will McAvoy “The Newsroom”
I don’t think it’s fair to blame voters when it’s the politician’s job during s campaign to convince people they’re worth voting for.
Adopting unpopular centrist policies and aligning more and more with centrist Biden’s policies as the campaign went on is just going to fill voters with apathy.
The Democrats, once again, didn’t give us a candidate to vote for, only one to vote against. And I think the American people are sick of that carrot-stick routine, the Dems need to actually adopt popular policies.
And the establishment Dems are going to fight that tooth and nail.
Did the Confederacy actually lose, though? Or did the Union just suffer a pyrrhic victory?
Edit: Just saying, the Confederacy lost but their flag is still flown on the state flag of Mississippi, Reconstruction didn’t go far enough and failed, sharecropping, Jim Crow laws, segregation, civil rights movement opposition, systemic and societal racism is still rampant and accepted (Trump), hell, the “state’s rights” arguments is still one of the first reasons people give for the cause of the Civil War. Fuck, we still have legal slavery via our prison system.
So… Did the Confederacy actually lose? Cause they’re ideology, beliefs, and the consequences of their hate is still rampant, and we’re still dealing with their bullshit.
