Translation: “We can make people accept far right policies as long as the alternative is extreme facism

Actually trying to make people like you is hard work, far easier to just to convince everyone that your opponent sucks even more. The Dem’s innovation is “we could literally just astroturf the opponent we think is the weakest”

It takes the Biden from the basket, it puts the Biden on the skin. Or else it gets the Trump again.

Everyone who donates to the democrats in 2022 should get a framed photo of the giant anthropomorphic swastika made of bones and teeth (R-Ohio) that their money ended up going to.

Yes, I’m also confused about this. I’m hearing a lot of people talk about how the midterms were a total success for the Dems but from all I can tell, they lost the House and they can’t possibly get those mythical 2 senators Joe Biden was asking for to counteract Manchin and Sinema. Of course that’s all academic since the second Dems have a majority in congress a few more Manchins crawl out of some alcove to play spoiler, because the Democratic Party does not know how to wield power.

i think part of it is how Dems were supposed to lose way worse. But it shows how white liberals think when they think losing control was actually a very savvy political move.

Both parties lose the midterms when they have the Presidency. Which is why Dems gained seats in 2018 when Trump was there. Usually they also lose a bunch of governorships and state legislatures but Democrats actually gained some this time

Basically it’s a huge contrast to the 2010 midterms

At the same time if you confront any of them about this they’ll deny it exists and call you a conspiracy theorist
