that would be nice! though I don’t think Republicans (the people) are inherently evil or anything like that, this current strain seems to be mostly driven by resentment which is solved by meeting peoples needs better. sadly, I am skeptical that the democratic party will change its tune and revering- - ThreadSky

past leaders who brought us to this point just seems like repeating mistakes of the past

at the bottom of the graph there are numbers, these numbers represent dates, as one can see the dates begin with the year 2020, however, many scholars say time existed before that year

what part of it being a “novel” coronavirus don’t you understand?

wait! oh shit, oh no, oh fuck. Are you one of those “lab-leak” truthers? You think the novel coronavirus was being hidden away in a lab before that graph started, don’t you?

This just isn't true

Unfortunately, history's shown that meeting the right's needs does not in any way solve right wing resentment. Seeing other people (liberals, black people, Muslims, etc.) doing better than them is what fuels their resentment.

Not even doing better than them, just not being their slaves

The share of Americans with the lowest incomes - presumably including those with the most "unmet needs" - pretty consistently votes Democrat.

It sounds like your plan is to win elections by meeting [Republican voters] needs

How is that different from what you call the "liberals master plan"

Yeah, the DP offered material solutions, and when it had the political power, it *enacted* those solutions. Turns out a lot of people didn't care, or actively hated them!

gabesmall.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Well it did fail to ignore the legitimacy of those in positions to thwart or reverse parts of their agenda and simply steamroll over them so

charltoncussans.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I mean yeah those solutions weren't as good as they could have been, but the ACA and IRA were good in of themselves.

gabesmall.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I was making a sarcastic reference to the fact that Democrats operate in reality in which real world oppositional forces exist

They don't have the luxury people who are never in power have of fantasizing about what they would do with power

charltoncussans.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Ah yes, I totally see what you mean!
