Both parties spend lots of time fighting the culture wars, but only Republicans are called out for it. Dems fight it with all the same ferocity. if you don't want to defend your social stances against criticism or pushback, then abandon them. You don't get to just have them.B wrote:I don't disagree. But when we get into how do those concerns translate into voting, it becomes important to point out that the Republican strategy is to attack people based on social issues, and then when the Democrats defend those point, wail about how the Democrats are wasting all of their time on social issues that no one cares about.4/5 wrote:Democrats do suck at messaging, that's true. But economy/jobs/prices/inflation isn't a messaging fail, it's what people care about. Now whether people should perceive that those issues are at the top of the list of priorities of Democratic or Republican politicians I don't know. But it doesn't seem crazy to me that more people think that Jan 6/women's rights/environment/guns are higher priorities for Democratic legislators than economy/jobs/prices/inflation. Maybe that's a messaging fail, but if people are looking around at high inflation, decreasing real wages and purchasing power and believe that the party in power prioritizes other things, that's a problem for the party in power regardless of whether people are right or wrong.B wrote:Well, that's because the Democrats suck at this.BurtReynolds wrote:It appears your messaging may be failing to take hold with the masses.B wrote: Someone should also point out that Republican-controlled state legislatures are not passing laws to reduce inflation or create jobs. They're passing laws to ban trans kids and micro-manage school libraries.
Also, who are the 13% that think Republican leaders care about the national debt? L-O-L.
That has an impact on how people feel when the pollsters call them.
Fetterman had his stroke around the time he won the primary, so maybe there was no provision to replace him?

i thought this was obvious from the beginning. i'm not sure dude does interviews w/o her even before the stroke. which is kinda understandable from a visual perspective, but she gives off yoko ono vibes.simple schoolboy wrote:Fetterman had his stroke around the time he won the primary, so maybe there was no provision to replace him?
