Haven't these MFS been saying they won in a landslide have a mandate since January? Or am I just imagining things? (lemmy.world)

Ideally, I'd love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren't in charge.

No but just a guy that's frustrated with how messaging on the left is non existent. Like ya call me dumb because I don't know. I'm not reading articles all day. Just looking at pictures. The right figured it out that you need to engage at this level. The left will ignore human nature. One side is succeeding and one is failing. We have Nazis publicly being Nazis with no shame. Just saying

    Of course you mean they have to pander and lie right?

    Sure, one man's lie is another's truth. We have to engage. But we don't. Maybe we don't by design.

    It's not. There is the truth and then there is lies and omissions.

    We have to engage.

    Nope, we've tried that. Tell them to get fucked and kill them with shear numbers of voters.

    Maybe we don't by design.

    I mean maybe but it doesn't really matter.

    You haven't engaged in anything. You're literally the "we've done nothing and we're out of ideas" meme.

    And truth is subjective. Always. Especially in politics.

    Yes history doesn't exist, call it in boys we've apparently done nothing no Democrat has ever pandered to morons and it certainly isn't how we ended up here. No no, internet guy says we've not tried anything yet.

    No perception is variable truth is singular. There's one truth everything else is mis-perception though I do love that you don't know the difference.

    Ed: Melvin Ford? Are you of the Canadian crackhead fords because that would be fun.

    You can only ever interrupt truth through perceptions. It's why lawyers and marketers exist. First day being a human or what

    This is so silly lol

    What the hell is this. What were you trying to do here. Goes to my point though. There's an out of touchness to the left. You can't accomplish goals. You're beat at every turn but you externalize the blame instead of looking at yourself.

    The Democrats are asking for the following:

    • Extension & expansion of health-care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This was set to expire at the end of 2025, and would drive up insurance costs for millions of low-income and middle class families if not subsidized.
    • Reversal or protection against Republican-led cuts in Medicaid / other health programs. The BBB removed a lot of people from Medicade coverage, they want to prevent it from getting worse and guarantee protection for US citizens.
    • A meaningful say in any continuing resolution (CR) or stop-gap that reopens the government.

    Essentially, Republicans are trying to ram through legislation that fuck over a lot of people. Democrats are trying to prevent a lot of people from being fucked over, and have essentially told Republicans that you need to work with us on these things....like, you know, a functional government is supposed to do.

    The reason you see simple messaging from the right and not the left, is because lies are simple. If you're just making shit up, you can make it as simple and meme-worthy as you want, it doesn't matter. The truth is always more complicated, so if you want to tell the truth, you have to explain in something other than memes and simplistic pictures like this one. You need articles, or at least a paragraph or two of explaining, which means reading.

    I'm not reading articles all day. Just looking at pictures.

    You don't even need to read an entire article. Most reasonable news sources put it in a quick info box for you. Or you could pull up a democratic senator's Bluesky or Mastodon account and see what they've posted about why they voted against it. There's probably info on Tiktok and Instagram, too.

    In this modern world, the issue is never that the information isn't available; just that you didn't look for it.

    Correct. I don't. Millions of swing voters do not. So where do you fit into that equation? Is Bill Clinton supposed to do all the work

    Do I read this right? You're saying "the right is winning because they're posting clickbait bullshit (technical term here, not just a sloppy swear) consumed in memes or tiktok-style videos"?

    Aren't you terrified that's the life so many (and I think you're putting yourself in this camp as well) are choosing to live?

    💯 that is a major reason that they're winning.

    When people say 'well they're just more funded duh' what they're not addressing is all that funding is to create shit posts and media to engage their base. All that funding goes into producing images of chickens throwing snowballs asking if climate change was real then why is it snowing in July. We are basic simple creatures as a group.

    It doesn't matter what I think because this is what the world is. The left is failing to accept it and that's why we're losing.

    Check this out. How much of the likes and shares and comments do you think are bots? Notice any patterns? Patterns are important because you can rewire people's brains and opinions through repetition.
