Had this conversation last week with whoever it was. Any talking point made by dems will be used as soundbites against them and completely flipped into something it’s not. Look at antifa. There is no physical antifa yet it’s believed to be a gang of killers burning Portland for the past 4 months day after day. What the **** do you say to people that believe that? Some flat earth type mindsetI agree with the culture of losing in the party but I don't have any allusions of it being spurned on by activist rhetoric at all since all of these issues we always discuss precede this year and election cycle
The 1000 seats lost under the last Dem admin until now had absolutely nothing to do with 'defund the police'. Now it's just become a convenient scapegoat to place blame on without introspection. If it's not one thing, the other side will always make up another boogeyman irregardless of facts which is why it's a losing proposition playing by their rules out of fear of offending people who intentionally misrepresent your positions and even reality itself at every turn.
We also disagree on the phrasing being dumb or divisive seeing how defunding stuff like education, healthcare, public utilities etc is considered a necessary part of the status quo when it comes to governing yet we're supposed to buy that maybe not equipping law enforcement with the budget and equipment of standing armies is a bridge too far now??? C'mon. It's all to do with priorities, not to do with being to extreme.
All that being said, activists =/= the party. You shouldn't conflate the 2 when both are most often separate and distinct entities. Whatever slogans come about during spontanious and organic expressions of rage and disatisfaction will never be focus group tested to guage potential reactions from unaffected groups. That's where your public officials/organizers/legislators friendly to your plight/cause come in to channel that righteous energy into tangible ways of enacting changes. Not the job of the activists in the moment who are focused on making themselves heard while also protecting themselves and their allies from very real physical persecution.
The phrase wasn't even on anyone's platform and the rare candidates who actually did pay lip service to the idea didn't lose their races either
Accepting the scare mongering as unchanging fact and using it as a stick to beat back down some of the energy within the base will always be hustling backwards imo. Siphoning that energy into a coherent vision/plan of the future is what wins long term. Look at just how effectively the other side rode the energy and anger wave within their base into domination at the state and federal level after 2010 instead of dismissing it entirely and doubling down on failed strategy.
Sometimes after carefully considering the repercussions and concluding it isn't worth it, you go **** it, let's do it anyway.My man lol.
*whoops, my bad guys*
Not seeing anyone serious ignoring these causes in their analysis though, that obviously played a huge role in how things played out along with widespread gerrymandering but the fact that so many folks felt a sort of vacuum in leadership that allowed the GOP to step right in as the so called party of the 'working class', always been absolute horse****, in the first place was a failure tbh.
*whoops, my bad guys*
I’m sure she Had her entire way paid off.
need to work together to make sure we keep these Republican scums down.
