Man, if only they had spent all their campaign money talking about this instead of whatever the hell it is they did, they might have won the election!
Instead of having any sort of resolve, or appearing to actually give a shit about any of that, we got a full centrist push focusing on making it ok for conservatives to vote for a democrat, rather than actually trying to organize their base. The end result is DNC members abandoning LGBTQ and leftist issues. Instead they ratchet right to keep the government moving forward.
Nearly the entire DNC is rotten and will self protect, like this, rather than engage in any actual change.
You’re not wrong. Also, a lot of the DNC’s money got spent on consultants, and a lot of the consultants are six-figure “Reagan + LGBTQ” droids without much in the way of useful skills of any kind, so their messaging was and will continue to be shit. And when Bernie Sanders came along, with a wildly popular message that could clearly win elections in historic fashion, and all the consultants and about 80% of the candidates involved said, “Whoa whoa fuck that we gotta get that shit out of the building before it starts costing our clients money.” Meanwhile, the GOP’s consultants are getting expert advice from foreign adversaries on how to get their messaging to dig in deep via social media influence-operations and new media that people of today actually pay attention to. It’s like watching the US Marines take on the Boy Scouts, if the Boy Scouts were all addicted to cocaine and that was their main focus.
