Their central criticism is that people are lulled into more right-leaning positions by right-wing propaganda, which is true: the right wing has bought basically all media. Everybody takes marching orders.

So, people are stupid, but this is a deliberate move: stupidity benefits the right.

If by "appeasement of the right" you mean "accepting of the genocide," I will fault no person for caring about what's happening over there. If the democrats wanted to win, they should have let go of their psychotic, white-knuckle grip on the Israel military fund. It doesn't surprise me at all that this severely weakened their bid for the presidency.

That said, I can't say we're in a better position now with Trump. My hope for the people of Gaza now is either maga incompetence, or that Trump and Netanyahu make some kind of fascist quid-pro-quo deal not unlike the "Trump saves TikTok" publicity stunt.

Did you vote for Kamala? Then you're not stupid. You did what you could, now we have to do more.

I disagree with the "voters are stupid" rhetoric because those people tend to ignore the Democrats' responsibility in their own loss, but if you read further, that's not what this person was doing.

The enthusiasm of the first week of her campaign announcement was through the roof, and I will never forgive the DNC (and her, to be fair; she capitulated) for knee-capping it.

It was pretty bad.

Yes, money is power and power is politics. What is your point exactly?

He was bleeding... like, you can see the blood.
"Gauges" is just funny.

What is this pacifying people from, do you imagine?

Like, let's say Trump gives the order to disband all DEI committees everywhere, and a lot of people who like theirs resist the order to do so at every turn. Malicious compliance, straight-up refusal, sleight of hand. This pacifying resistance means they won't...?

This is like not believing in macro evolution.

Actually, I think a lack of incrementalism got us here. We incremented in the wrong direction.

I say this again: never having to deal with us is actually very simple. She'll never make fun of your toys.

No, I think the bitcoin nft metaverse gooners of yesteryear have found a new thing to pretend is the future.

And this is the.. only other option?

That's true! They're very stupid.

Since this has been proven twice, it is now a known fact, what should the democrats do next time to enrapture these very stupid people and ensure a decisive victory against the enemy?
