> the Democrat party... are consistently better organized, more presentable, better funded, more advanced psychological operations, better connected, and more coherent than their Republican counterparts In the US? Are you serious? - The Federalist Society is a decades long conservative/Republican effort to stack the courts. It worked. There is no liberal/Democrat parallel that comes even close in terms of scope and/or effectiveness. - For decades Republicans worked to stack state legislatures with their people, and they gerrymandered aggressively once in control so that they could keep it. It worked. You get oddities like Austin (famously liberal city) with only 1 or 2 of 5 state reps being democrat. Or states like Minnesota (edit: maybe Wisconsin… I can’t recall) that (until this week) voted consistently for Democrats in statewide races but had a Republican-majority state legislature. There has been no liberal/Democrat parallel that comes even close in terms of scope and/or effectiveness. - The Koch brothers for decades led many initiatives to support Republican causes with money and infrastructure. They moved away from the Republican Party with trump in the lead, but there are a ton of folks like the Kochs who are looking for a new figurehead to stand behind. There has been no liberal/Democrat parallel that comes even close in terms of scope and/or effectiveness. Meanwhile… - Democrats can’t nominate better candidates than Hillary or Biden when much more electable candidates were available, mainly due to the periphery of the party insisting on getting their (very non-centrist, very non-electable) candidate or they just don’t vote. Hence Trump winning an election in 2016 and almost winning an election in 2020, both of which should have been slam dunks for Democrats even with the electoral college being what it is. - You get congressional Democrats who play nice when they are in control, then get completely taken advantage of when they are not in control. Mitch McConnell is the master of this type of abuse. There are many reasons for this, but one clear one is a lack of unity in the Democratic voting bloc. Republicans are much more consistent at executing “win at all costs” congressional strategies than Democrats are. Note that I wish the above were not true — I am embarrassed by the current state of politics in my country — but I see the reality for what it is.
