Biden did a great job without having to result to all that in 2020.

Biden would have gotten destroyed by trump in November. Harris did what she could.

That's true.

And the funny thing is that he won because Trump essentially lost a referendum. People were tired of him and his constant whining.

So what happened in the four years after Trump lost a referendum during which Biden was a reasonably good president?

Lots of things that show both that MAGA is really good at pulling people in and the Dems are really, really bad at all of this.

MAGA found a way for people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan to become absolute stars simply by selling out to them. That probably could not happen with a Dem.*
MAGA won people over by convincing them that the robber barons on their side were not the problem; it's trans people everywhere (especially in sports) and immigrants.
The Dems continued to operate like everything is normal. As MAGA's net grew and embraced former moderates like Musk, Rogan, Tulski, etc., the Dems grabbed Liz Cheney, who nobody likes. They banked on a worn-out America to think that warmonger the Dems used to hate was going be slapped in the face by the message that Trump is doing things outside the norm. They didn't recognize that most Americans want things to be done outside of the norm. One of our former instigators once called the Dems the Party of Billionaires (pretty recently, too) and probably actually believed it.
MAGA is WAY ahead of the Dems in recognizing how people consume, for lack of a better term, information. Podcasts, social media, etc. The Dems appeared out of touch with regular people because they are. MAGA's in touch (but using it for evil).

*And they won like 49-48. If somehow Musk and Rogan alone, jumped on the Dem wagon as heartily as they did the MAGA wagon, Harris probably wins 65-35. I really believe that. The Dems are far more in line with what most people believe and want. They just cannot convey the message.

agreed....that's why we need a trumplike figure. It's optics now.

"trumplike" ... ? What is that? criminal? lunatic? narcissist? I'd never vote for a democrat like that. I'm not understanding what this means.

Brash, in your face, walk over your grandma to get the mail.

The antidote to trump is trump. Someone who just trashes him to his face and everyone lines up behind him.

I don't mean a shitty message...just the over confidence.

I totally agree with you. My response was more to that Biden didn't need to do all that and still prevailed in 2020.

* that = Imagine a candidate that got right in trump's face and called him out for having fake hair, teeth, fat, orange, etc. That's what we need. Someone to embarrass him to his face on the world stage and not worry about the optics.

Populist, is my guess. Trump is good at reaching regular people AND fooling them into thinking he's on their side.

Dems don't resonate with people.

None of this matters. Elon Musk will be this country's dictator before another election occurs.

Somebody please define the following...

"Normal American"
"Regular people"

The beauty of America is the diversity. The differences. The variety of life experiences and opinions. Having a government run by and for old wealthy white men who claim to be "christian"is not 'normal' nor is it "regular".

What is happening now in DC is constitutionally, ethically, and morally wrong. Unfortunately the republican base could not care less as long as the libs are owned and the rich get richer. Even if it is to their own detriment.
On the other hand the democrats are swimming against a very strong undertow with no direction and no solid leaders. But it's early and eventually they'll find someone. Hopefully it will be a strong willed person with a strong public presence and speaking abilty that will appeal to basic common sense.

Working Class/Middle Class/People two missed paychecks away from disaster. Doesn't have to be white people or Christians.

I mean, Trumps' reaching all kinds of people. He's doing better in most demographics than he did in 2016. Huge assist from Rogan, social media, AM radio, Fox News, and even CNN. I find it counterintuitive that a victim-playing billionaire is so relatable but here we are.

I understand the source of the account and I guess I could've used another of the several accounts that show the same video. I also understand you not wanting to use Twitter.

"What leverage do we have?" says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "They control the House, the Senate and the presidency; it's their government."

Jeffries a very smart, calculating individual. Watch this "admission of weakness" come back as messaging later on when maga and everyone else complains how awful life is.
