"interesting how bad the democrats seem to be at the game of winning elections"
Since 1992, haven't democrats had power for over 20 years as opposed to GOP's 12 ?
- selfmodruntime 2y agoYea, but the game's changed. The Republican Party has figured out how to rally millions behind charismatic candidates. I wouldn't be surprised if we were in for a couple more years of Republican leadership.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoCharismatic or populist? Same thing in effect, but the latter has a bit more weight / context to politics. Also if they're having their way, they will break the current system; Trump has said people would never need to vote again if he wins, and Project 2025 aims to give much more power to the president (autocracy): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
- Prbeek 2y agoGiven what democrats stand for, you don't even have to be charismatic to push them into a corner. Any candidate who will shout anti trans anti illegal immigrantion talking points will always carry the day
- theshrike79 2y agoTrump literally said "you won't have to vote again". And if the Project 2025 plan works as they planned it, that's the truth. America will become a single party state and that won't change without a civil war. They will stack the courts and every appointable position with pro-Trump (not Republican) people who will make sure every election goes their way in the future.
- user90131313 2y agoOh people already say civil war? lol.
- theshrike79 2y agoNah, nobody is saying it, and it's not happening because the party with all the gun-nuts and survivalists won. I personally can't see any other way out unless Team Donald messes up badly enough to make their own people shun them.
- meowster 2y agoPeople won't have to vote for him again because he can't be voted for again due to the two-term-limit. !RemindMe in four years
- gitaarik 2y agoIf that's possible, first of all why/how, and second, why would the Democrats not do this?
- EricDeb 2y agoit remains to be seen whether they can find the next trump hes unique
- rpmisms 2y agoJD Vance is extremely likeable, and much less polarizing than Trump. The "weird" attack on him died the moment people heard him speak.
- some-guy 2y agoI wouldn't call him "much less" polarizing than Trump, he still is more unfavored than favored: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/jd-vance/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/jd-v...
- vdvsvwvwvwvwv 2y agoA charismatic candidate figured out how to hijack the Republican party more like. Who is the other charismatic candidate up their sleeve?
- ericmcer 2y agoYou specifically chose a range of dates to make this as dramatic as possible. Could easily say GOP has 24 to 20 since 1980, or 16 to 12 since 2000, or 8 to 4 since 2016.
