And what is the difference between them winning and losing? I’ve been voting for them for years and hating it every time and getting nothing but excuses.
Because they haven’t actually won in a long ass time. Aside from the few months in 2012 that gave us the ACA, it’s been nothing but ties or Republican wins since the Bill Clinton days.
The political parties are not fucking sports teams who go out there and play and either win or lose. You vote for them, or don’t, and they consequently win, or don’t.
Do you even know what a political party is? It’s not some company that you pay to provide you a service. It’s not some big vending machine where you put in x and are disappointed you didn’t receive y.
A political party is a group of people, largely volunteers, trying to convince people of their agendas.
You’re trying to purchase a victory for Dems with your vote but it doesn’t work like that. You’re treating it like you’re in line at McDonald’s ordering a burger but getting cat food and now you storm in waving your receipt and want to talk to the manager.
Right, and they’re trying to convince people about their agendas to try to win elections, right?
I don’t expect it to happen like a transaction. But I do expect the very expensive political consultants who the party employs to at least win something.
If a political party is as bad as the democrats at winning and keeping power, what’s the damn point beyond employing very expensive and ineffective political consultants?
The democrats have been failures my entire life, and I still vote for them. I still donate and I even volunteered. And all my efforts are for naught because the party is terrible at doing the first thing it needs to do: Win votes.
that’s a difference. Right there. Dems don’t make things better but they don’t make things worse. I hate dems but until new party forms I will encourage people to vote dem or at least third party over staying at home because that’s put us here. Once the GOP is gone we can collectively give dems the middle finger. DNC knows this which is why they act the way they do.
People have been saying this since I was able to vote: “Just vote for the dems you hate now until they have enough power then we can vote for who we want.”
And in all that time the republicans have gotten more powerful.
There will never be a time in my life where the GOP is gone. And probably not my children’s either.

A political party that can’t get power should be destroyed.
The political parties are not fucking sports teams who go out there and play and either win or lose. You vote for them, or don’t, and they consequently win, or don’t.
And isn’t the first job of a political party to win those votes and hence the election?

It’s NOT A SPORTS MATCH jeesus man why can you not grasp this
It’s not some external thing that happens or doesn’t. Christ civics education is in the toilet in this country.
Are you fucking joking?
I’m frustrated. Democrats win and don’t get anything done because of republicans and then lose and don’t bother resisting the republicans.
Republicans make things worse, of course , but democrats don’t or can’t make things better.

Because not enough people FUCKING LISTENED.
Well I’ve been listening and I’m sick of pretending this strategy of “if only people would do what they should” is going to ever work
You are actively fighting against it right now.
