Donald Trump fired off an angry middle-of-the-night attack on “highly overrated Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro after he spoke out against the former president at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.

    Trump wholely controls the RNC, they’re not working against him.

    Republican voters are willing to vote for Harris when they wouldn’t vote Biden, because Biden was just honestly a bad candidate. Now that the candidate is better, more people are willing to cross party lines and vote D.

    It would have happened in 2016 and 2020 too if we ran better candidates.

    Hell, it happened 2008 and 2012 when Obama ran. Not only did people vote for him. He flipped a lot of state governments in “red states” blue.

    Because he changed people’s minds about what the democratic party was.

      I get that. But there’s no way these people stay Democratic in four years time. Their purpose is to take Trump’s loss as a means to wrestle back their party from MAGA. They know that it’s the only way they have a chance to win in four years is IF they start a Republican civil war after this (hopefully) loss of a great deal of power.

        But there is…

        Run more popular candidates and count on Republicans to keep running the same shitty Republicans.

        We went from Obama (who wasn’t perfect as president, but a great candidate) to Hillary and Joe. And regardless of your opinion on them as presidents, most agree they were shit tier candidates.

        We dont have to start running shitty candidates, so we don’t have to lose those voters next election.

        It’s stupidly easy to beat Republicans, the money just doesn’t want what voters want. So the party aims for just popular enough to get elected, but still doing all the shitty stuff the money wants.

        If Republicans win every once and a while. It’s even better for the money, so they just don’t have any downsides.

        It’s why we desperately need to get money out of at least Dem primary’s like Bernie keeps saying.
