The reality is that Salesmanship is the differentiation between the two parties.
The Dems couldn't sell dollar bills for 50c
Trump has found his audience and can sell them dollar bills for $5
When everything is a story the algorithm flashes at you as you scroll, you better be selling fast

I don’t think so. The left needs a platform that resonates with the majority & not more of the same handed down BS.
Dem voters = Dogs in Simsbury, Connecticut dog park. No interest in morons. Simsbury is leafy, upmarket, civilized town. 2024 Vote: Harris 10,141 v Trump 5,433
Trump voters = Dogs in rescue kennel desperate for way out of miserable life. Will believe anything if it gets me out.

-some people vote against their own interests
-most people vote only when there are frozen morgue trucks on every corner
Nikki Glaser summed it up last week - richest, most successful creatives in entertainment couldn’t tell people who to vote for.
If you try to sell a bunch of drunken frat boys term life insurance, it doesn't matter how good it is, they're going to throw empty beer cans at you & throw money at the one selling lap dances.
Doesn't necessarily mean either one is good or bad at selling.
But would be irrelevant in a society that taxed the Mark Cubans of the world enough that their only real political influence manifested in the single vote they cast in a polling both.
You can’t ignore that
Agent 🟠 is literally selling $2 bill for $20, but he should not be getting kudos for "selling it" --he should be getting criticism.
What it really comes down to is whose stories were lifted by the press & whose were ignored?
•Biden ignored the housing crisis.
•They failed to codify Roe.
•The last president to sign a min. wage increase was George W. Bush.
•They give made-for-TV Oversight roles to tepid geriatrics.
•Congressional leaders keep their jobs after losing
They’re marks for his grift. Are you advocating the Dems gaslight American voters?
Because apparently that is what is now required to win in this country.

Like, nationalize Starlink.
We do not have to sell. At all.
There are no billionaires that need to exist. There are no billionaires who are of any use to anybody.
A person who thinks about societies as who sells what for what is afflicted with the same hording sickness as the rest.
Bring back Marx.
If you want people to vote for "your" cause,
you (not you, obviously 🙂, the original author) are a manipulative piece of shit and, depending on the specifics of "your" cause, your place is out of politics, in private business, in jail, or on a lamppost.
My dear well-meaning American middle class intelligentsia,
I do like you.
But your world is burning and you are reposting hot takes from a "nice" billionaire.
This is not rational, this is denial.
It was a quick/hot take so typical on SM b/c what Trump/R's are really selling are counterfeit dollar bills.
That's not "salesmanship" - that's just a pure grift/con.
A billionaire, who chooses, for now, to side against Trump,
Posts, "Democrats reliance on people voting for their interests is not a match to the Soviet-, intensity propaganda" in folksy language,
and people are having orgasms
is why we are having billionaires
