@gwynnion@mastodon.social People who vote Democrat don't want bigotry and genocide. They want a candidate that cares about them and their family. They want a candidate that actually improves their lives. The Democrats ran as GOP lite, and got their asses handed to them for it. If the center left of this country wanted "anti-woke" bullshit and mass human rights abuses, they would vote Republican. This all goes back to DELIVERISM. Deliverism is the way to do politics. Promise your voters a couple of helpful and achievable things they want, actually do them, and you will win every time. Politics has been a liar's game for too long. Deliverism is the way out of this. You may ask, "why have the Democrats not adopted this fairly obvious strategy?". The answer is simple: their class interests are directly opposed to genuinely popular governance. They profit from mass incarceration, forever wars, and endless fundraising. They have no incentive to actually deliver anything except lukewarm acceptance of some minority populations.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social I am increasingly convinced that the Democratic party is increasingly antagonistic to its base and its own electoral success. They would rather commit total suicide than become a social-democratic political party.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social The Democrats are at war with its social-democratic and democratic socialist faction. They are directly fighting against the exact thing that would save the party from irrelevance, and in so doing directly dooming themselves to becoming a hollow peripheral to the Republican party.
