You can go fuck yourself I've left my blood on the street of Sacramento and San Francisco many times defending these ideals. People are pissed that they are signing away out rights. What are you some Gen X tough guy? Lest we all forget how gen X handled the aids epidemic.
You are assuming that the democratic party will keep the house and senate if Biden is the democratic presidential candidate.
And you think this is why we lost? Supported by what research? Just gut feelings?
The past year of research has made it very clear: Trump won because of racial resentment
Another study produces the same findings we’ve seen over and over again.www.vox.com
If you wanted to actually pander to Obama-Trump flippers, you would have to throw minorities under the bus, not just cater to abortion types. And of course, if you actually do throw minorities under the bus for "moderate" Republican votes you deserve to be dragged for every bit of it. Do you think caving on abortion can ameliorate the racial animus driving modern politics?
Well yes I wouldn't be surprised when he does.
I just meant the left as in not republicans. Prolly should have expanded that lol
Yup because of the main goal is to oust Trump, then throwing minorities will be politically expedient. We see it time and time again.
It matters all the damn time. Every single bill that comes close to funding abortions creates a debate about it. You cannot touch healthcare spending without questioning if the bill should be written to apply the hyde amendment or not and in what ways. Remember that's not a permanent constitutional law. It practically has to be constantly affirmatively voted for or against every time you pass anything related, including routine funding bills.
Agreed.
Yes, lots of people like to say "Biden's a Republican" because they have no idea what they're talking about. Including many people on YouTube who have no idea what they're talking about.
I am Gen X and, if I say so myself, pretty tough. Most of us were 8-13 years old during the AIDS epidemic...what the hell were we supposed to do? Gotta agree with the other poster... no fucking clue as to what you're getting at...
The nightmare scenario for lefties electoral theory-wise is Biden winning, and then decimating Trump in a wave election.
Gen X-ers were mostly kids to college age during the AIDS outbreak and epidemic in the 80s/90s. What in the hell did you expect of them?
Yes, I won't lie this is kind of a nightmare scenario. It'd put to death of any hope of a progressive realignment for the next 40 or so years.
Gen X is people born from 1965-1980. The AIDS crisis was the 80s through the mid 90s. How exactly are literal schoolchildren supposed to be doing anything? They weren't the people who elected Reagan, none of them could vote in 1980.
I mean, it'd really show that negative enthusiasm rules all, hence our pendulum of stupid in politics.
That or they rely on the weak excuse of "ThE PoLlS TaKeN A YeAr BeFoRe ThE PrImArY aNd WiTh dIfFeReNt sOuRcEs SaY He iS tHe MoSt PoPuLaR"
Your age range puts them at early Gen-Xers being in high school when the crisis began (and most-gen-xers having been through high school by the time the crisis was partially alleviated by the mid-90s) and well into adulthood when the crisis actually became a full blown crisis. They may not have been a sizable voting block, but enough of them were old enough to start speaking out against shitty cultural norms.
The only thing it really implies is that substance doesn't matter to the electorate, but rather perception. Which is true and has been proven true in many past elections.
