What is it called when the government runs the economic systems? I forget.

The hyper partisanship as of late has definitely made it harder on democrats. But if we change who we are at our core, we're completely done that way. The only way to win is to be better communicators. And changing vocab is part of, but primarily it has to be genuine and banned words aren't genuine
Meditations (@jdaustin.bsky.social) reply parent
It is the problem. But it is also who we are. We are truly a big tent party. It takes special leaders to wrangle us all in, but they rise up sometimes. And when we lose we get more vicious w/ each other. We can't change who we are. We aren't republicans that will sell our soul for the party.

Yes, but the same political strategist firms that are telling them to stop using these terms bc they are politically unpopular are the same firms we all know have turned the dems into political robots. Which we are also told loses the elections. So stop being robots. Say what u want.

A party doesn't win by neglecting it's base to try to grab a couple of lost conservatives. Maga r a misinformed cult. I'm not sure how to defeat, but I'm not turning into a neocon bush republican to win. Compromising is ok, but abandoning our principles will destroy a party.
Meditations (@jdaustin.bsky.social) reply parent
I somewhat agree with both of u. But us lifelong lefties welcome the disenfranchised conservatives to our party as long as u don't try to morph us into your party.

I agree, but trump does bring this on himself by the wierd way he acts around Putin. It really does give the feeling something is up. Plus the Epstein stuff is the same way. His actions fuel the speculations.

100%. This is how they got Biden. Everyday, all day they talked about bad economy and he's too old. Then plus all the other crap they threw at him. The repetition works in most voters who don't take time to usually follow stuff closely. The repetition seaps it into the veins of pop culture.

There will be more than 7.5 million Americans unemployed once they deploy automation across many jobs. That is their plan. Move truck drivers and factory workers, etc, to even lower levels of employment to profit off of robots.

To be fair, MSM tends to treat candidates and presidents differently. They pretty much left Biden alone on mental stuff, until he was a candidate for 24.

I think it's simple. If they paid Geno then it was telling him he's "the guy". Which I'm ok with them saying he's not, bc i don't think he is either. Darnold isn't probably either, but he'll make a better bridge to "the guy"

It's bc conservativism doesn't really work in a liberal democracy except in the minds of the brainwashed. To be fair, it does keep liberals in check and from going too far with policy. But when they govern, they suck.

So glad I stopped watching them months ago. CNN has never been great, but they used to be a good source. Now they r just foxnews wannabes, not understanding that those viewers will nvr watch cnn. So piss off your viewers to get no additional ones. Great biz model.

Look, the reorg of Dem party will come from bottom up. And if some of the old dinosaurs r replaced, so be it. Primaries and voters will decide that. But a bunch of disenfranchised conservatives r not going to tell us what to do. Go back to your neocon/tea party roots. We r not YOUR party to remake.

They don't understand work done for the good of people, society, and gov. They only understand work for profit and wealth. The former is completely foreign to them, ie look at trump's comments on soldiers. They don't believe in service. They only believe in transactions for profit.
