fault doesn’t matter. what matters is influence. the democratic party has SO MUCH MONEY to use for influence, and they used all that influence to basically make the perfect case to voters to conclude that they might as well stay home.
their conclusion was wrong of course, but to the working class american, that’s the image that was successfully projected into their minds.
the democratic party has SO MUCH MONEY to use for influence
How much does money influence matter in an election when you’re up against a party utilizing extreme propaganda and hate/fear as their tools to convince a generally very ignorant electorate?
A lot. It has a lot of influence. I wish the Dems would do propaganda. Instead they catered to suburban conservatives who were already locked in for Trump, all while capitulating to neo-Nazi fearmongering over trans people and the border. Isn’t that just a great use of their resources?
I mean there are consequences to utilizing fear based propaganda to win an election. You need look no further than the Republican party for proof. They are locked in to courting racists for votes now and that’s absolutely detrimental to our society. Two parties giving up the high road and going all in the the low road would lead us down a very dark path.
But then again, how do you run a clean campaign against a dirty campaign and win when Americans are easily influenced by propaganda?
It’s the fault of these idiots. Not the Democratic party.
