From the playbook of no shit sherlock.

Of course that's not what ineffective democratic leadership will do.

Hey democrats, you know what would be even more effective? If your platform, and policy positions, and rhetoric, and voting record, and legislation actually addressed these issues beyond just whatever the next election is.

    Very 100% agreed it's in the no shit sherlock category. The american people want you to at the very least pay lip service to the idea that you are going to try to make their lives better. Rather than just calling the republicans bad.

    Maybe this time we try literally any cohesive attack strategy? Like instead of just silently gesturing broadly at everything, hoping voters will be inherently riled up about the audacity of conservative fascism.

    Who cares what they campaign on? We know they're gonna fold at the slightest resistance

    Not shedding every constituent who is currently being attacked by the right would also help their strategy, but this is impossible because they have no actual firmly held beliefs.

    Yea... But like what would you even do?

    I genuinely don't even know what Dems can do at this point to fix 4 decades of Republican fuckery and moving wealth to the top?

    Little fixes won't do shit, and there is no way Democrats are bold enough to do something massive like taxing the rich at 90% again.

    I'm afraid when Dems are back in power they won't be able to do shit, because they don't really have revolutionary ideas and if they did Republicans would stop them.

    Republicans have driven the economy into the ditch and over the cliff, changing the wiper fluid won't do shit.

    "It's the economy, stupid"

    Sort of goes back to that whole Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

    No, they should just focus on being slightly less worse 🤏 than the opposition.

    The Republican party is good for Democrat politicians.
