Lotta people showed up to Kamala rallies also.....so we'll see.

Kamala rallies were all weeks before a major election. These are happening nowhere near an election.

And?  There have been lots of election post mortems that show that the people who pay attention to government and politics most were in support of Harris and the Ds....those people are still paying attention to government and politics and showing up while the masses eat their WWE soundbites behind their computer screen

 

Before we get into why Democrats lost the 2024 election, let’s talk about how they lost it: Which voting blocs shifted the furthest right over the past four years?

The most important thing is that we saw incredible polarization on political engagement itself. There’s a bunch of different ways to measure this: There’s how many elections you vote in, or how important politics is to your identity. There’s how closely you follow the news. But across all of these, there’s a consistent story: The most engaged people swung toward Democrats between 2020 and 2024, despite the fact that Democrats did worse overall.

Meanwhile, people who are the least politically engaged swung enormously against Democrats. They’re a group that Biden either narrowly won or narrowly lost four years ago. But this time, they voted for Trump by double digits.

And I think this is just analytically important. People have a lot of complaints about how the mainstream media covered things. But I think it’s important to note that the people who watch the news the most actually became more Democratic. And the problem was basically this large group of people who really don’t follow the news at all becoming more conservative.

Dems finding a tiny bit of spine? Need about 300 other elected reps up and down the board to make the same demand (and expand it to the other morons on the text thread).

They have to be relentless.  They have to be everywhere, saying this over and over again.  They have to say hot words, like "treason" and "risking the lives of our brave warfighters."  The exact same words, over and over, so they drown out everything else.  

In a world where all that matters is noise....be a fucking heavy metal concert.

The brazen lies in the last 24 hours from Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz, Ratcliffe, etc. have opened a door of opportunity. They all believe they are untouchable. They are fucking daring somebody to do something about it. The battle has been presented, time to sack up and go to war.

This too.  Call them what they are.  "The Secretary of Defense responded to evidence of his treason and utter disregard for our brave warfighters with lies.  Our fighting men and women deserve better.  The ones who sacrificed their lives and rest in Arlington deserve better.  If the SECDEF doesn't resign immediately, he'll end up sending more brave Americans to be buried at Arlington, killed by his mistakes and disregard for the truth."

Jasmine Crockett got the memo. She knows the rules of the game have changed. She has MAGA in a tizzy over this. Good. She’s speaking a language MAGA understands  There’s video out there.

Yep.  Be mean.  BE FUCKING MEAN.  Mean gets attention.  Attention is the sole commodity of value in the modern political economy.  Seize it, and don't ever let it go.

She’s my rep and I’m proud of it.

On a local Dallas page they were saying not to forget that the Republicans called him “hot wheels” first. Don’t know if it’s true, but it seems truthy. Which works in the current environment.

Nope, citizens that don't line up with your politics don't want people to suffer.  You're just being obtuse.  They're tired of the can being kicked down the road, again, and hoping that something can be done to lessen the blow when the bill is due.  You seem to be rather easily swayed by the MSM talking points, yourself, I think. MSNBC/FOX NEWS, they're on opposite ends of the same rope, meant to stir up frenzies.  A majority of the population doesn't give a flying fuck about what they talk about and browbeat.  That's the part of the population you're painting with a firehose, not just a broad brush.

 

Bullshit. Your denial flies in face of reality.

The common denominator in the linked thread is that Republicans wanted the regime to hurt the others, not them.

Ossoff should get some more mention of bigger things in the future. He’s white, young, straight, serious, fucking smart and not an asshole.  Also from a Southern state.

I mean they have to go all in on this. This is it, you can gut the majority of his shitty cabinet right here right now. I think CIA guy realizes how fucked he is and is throwing a hail Mary, as fucking shitty as Tulsi Gabbard is, is she the only one that spoke to a lawyer before this hearing? Lol
