Both things can be true, but it’s funny that two opposite sounding replies came to this one comment about US politics.

    Republicans made an entire industry out of hating democrats way back in the 90s. They’re not going to work with us. Ever. And every time Democrats try to work with them it has ended up badly.

      I think this is certainly true of the Republican Party. But ignoring republican voters is political suicide. There are too many of them. They must be reckoned with, one way or another.

          They cheered for the party that said they were going to improve things, while the Democrats looked at the abysmal state of America and said “Yeah, things are going well, expect more of the same”.

          Stealing Republican voters is a viable strategy, but the Democrats need to address the economic issues that drive those votes, not just buddy up with Republican war hawks like Harris did

            Trump only got three million more votes in 2024. Harris got six million fewer votes than Biden.

            Democrats and independents sat at home because of the lack of a plan to improve things from the Dems.

      Republican oligarchs aren’t going to change. Republican voters can and do.

      Class warfare is in full effect and the billionaires need the rest us to stay divided so that they can continue their war on us.
