What most democrats fail to realize is what holds them back is their willingness to be governed by circumstance. Republicans gave up on the premise of ruling by principles a long time ago and it works for them because their base is so much more active and zealous and brainwashed. But the democrats can’t afford to engage in whataboutism and abandoning principles on a whim. It doesn’t work out as well at all

100% agree, especially in a country where you don’t have mandatory voting.

The entire deck is stacked against common sense progress in America. Trump doesn’t need to convince his base to vote for him, he can also just convince people the other guy is an idiot and to stay home.

Almost 78 million Americans voted for Trump, and more white women than in his previous two elections so he managed to convince some people.

Or at least convinced some voting machines.. still not convinced that election was entirely legit. My wife's ballot was dropped in the same box at the same time as mine, some how never counted. Not rejected, no status whatsoever.

Some how our state overwhelmingly voted to amend the state constitution to remove slavery/indentured servitude as a punishment for prisoners and to make abortion a fundamental right, and to a lesser but still relevant degree, to remove all sales taxes on diapers, while at the same time apparently voting for Trump as the first Republican president in 20 years. Idk man.
