In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

Yes, a party is responsible for advertising themselves and their accomplishments.

They are responsible for so much more than that, including making and passing good policies the public likes and is excited about.

and general misinformation No, and this is another bone I have to pick - we've been in conflict with massive online psyops, which the Dems have known about. They started talking about this relating to the 2016 election, and here's a memo from 12/31/24 saying it happened in the 2024 election: https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2766

So it's actually hugely important that they address these massive online psyops (and indeed have been somewhat), but weren't effective and imo didn't take it seriously or aggressively enough.

The economy really wasn't improving for the poorest. That you all dismiss homelessness and starvation, literally such an increase it affected millions in one of the wealthiest countries, is why Dems lost the trust of their voters. They were saying "hey, I'm like, at risk of literally DYING," (bc starvation literally kills!) And they were gaslighted that actually things were fine. And you're confused why people didn't vote? Maybe they didn't have the calories. We know food matters for the ability to learn and research as well, that's why feeding kids breakfast and lunch was so desirable because it increases test scores and learning and pays for itself later.

Maybe Dems (the ones like Hakeem Jeffries, not AOC) just aren't as good of leaders as they claim. They know how to cozy up to rich people for speeches at Goldman-Sachs, sure. They can fundraise and often ONLY fundraise (I noticed a lack of volunteer positions for Kamala, donations only, whereas Bernie allowed me to volunteer and make calls for his campaign). To your average person, the Dems abandoned them, so they abandoned the Dems.

The Dems got out matched by Republicans due to weakness, as they have been for years, starting with Gore and the hanging chads, the last Obama Supreme Court seat, and a million capitulations and Lucy and the football situations.
