Democrats have an identity Crisis

Thursday, January 30, 2025

Democrats did not lose the presidency and both chambers of Congress because of their support for trans rights or opposition to the expansion of oil and gas drilling. They lost because normal people had no idea where they stood on any of the things that normal people care about. Instinctively, Americans understood that the Democrats no longer knew who they were. Democrats were awkward, seemingly unable to say if they were the party of billionaire donors or middle-class normies. And when you see that one awkward guy at a backyard barbecue or your kid's baseball practice, you flee.

MAGATS have a lack of intelligence crisis.

Only they're too ------- stupid to realize it.

Republicans have a morality crisis when they worship a lying criminal rapist traitor... who perfectly matches ALL the descriptions in their Bible of the Man of Sin.

I actually agree with this.

Although, acting as if the GOP is the party of the people and not the wealthy is laughable. They're just better, more shameless liars.

The Dems, however, seem hellbent on continuing to fail, though. I read today that David Hogue is being pushed as a vice chair in the DNC. They seem to want to double down on their losing strategies.

I think the Democrats should break away from the LGBT and DEI part.

I think they would do better and the American people would respond better.

So... real 'Muricans should be more homophobic and more racist, eh?

Figures.

I think most people don't care what people like you think. And mostly we'd rather not even know. Unfortunately now we are in a position where we are forced to try and understand the depths of your ignorance and hatred of the Other so we can attempt to counter it and limit the damage you will cause.

But mostly we'd rather be doing something else.

Not if Trumpy makes it illegal to call homophobes homophones and racists racists.

We are only a few steps from trumpy trying to make it illegal to criticize or attempt to obstruct any hateful polices Trumpy enacts. He is already enacting that policy with government employees.

Boaz posts an opinion article about the Democrats not being filled with hate for others, like he and his fellow deplorable Trumping MAGAts are.

Boaz. You really exemplify how hateful and stupid typical Republican voters are.

You really are a miserable SOB.

Considering all of the pushback that Boaz receives, I wonder if (s)he is a real person or just an avatar.

Boaz use to brag about what a good troll he is.

But in reality, he's just an angry moron who posts stupid shht and gets his rear end handed to him every time.

You are a woman. That's not me saying that.

That's Trumpy who is "just saying".

We all start out as women. And Trumpy has declared that now we are all woman. Gratz bozo.

1Nut has only 1 more nut to lose.

But he's never had any relevance here to lose. so I guess there's that.

He's decided that Herr Musk the Nazi and his fat dog Donald are just the bestest things for America to admire and kiss up to, so that's what he does.

Ol' bozo's just a fuggin caricature.

Identity crisis is right. There is tremendous diversity and many different ideas - meaning there isn't a single particular vision for what must happen. Versus what on the other side is a mob of racist hate filled conspiracy theorists following a clown and living for his every word. It's a freaking cult.

Liberals hate the truth being given to them.

They are now understanding they are going to have to cut loose the identity politics to appeal to the American public.

Delicious.

MAGA is all about identity politics. If you aren't cus hey white male you don't count. Just sayin

Somebody who votes for Trump has no business talking about truth

#24 | Posted by hamburglar at 2025-01-31 10:35 AM

the cognitive dissonance here is amazing.

-Article about Dems Identity and how most Americans don't think they are in tune with the issues that matter to them majority.
-Boaz points out Dems would do better to move away from TQ+ and DEI... pretty much what the article is alluding to.

Everyone here lashes out with hate and vitriol, straw-maning, and assigning of horrible positions.

Yeah, can't figure out why the left lost the election... it's a head scratcher.

"Liberals hate the truth being given to them."

What a riot. Boaz watches "news" outlets that lie to him, because, as they admitted, they don't believe he can handle the truth.

It's like the comedy writes itself!

"Liberals hate the truth being given to them."

Meanwhile, Boaz repeats an obvious lie about the CHAZ incident.

What "news" outlet told you that lie, Boaz, expecting you to believe it?
