Dems desperately need a (left-wing) media apparatus like GOP has. All of the right (from alt-right white nationalists to evangelicals to podcast bros) may disagree but will unite behind Trump to win elections & yield power. The left are splintered groups of "Dems are bad," infighting, & purity tests
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
140 yo Biden wasn't a star pro-LGBTQ communicator or activist, but his policies were good with these issues. Harris would have continued that. Most democrats, including Pete, will also. Obama didn't come out for gay marriage in his 1st term, but gays voted for him, knowing they would be safe.

Politicians write policy & blue states are not passing anti-trans laws. Nobody believes Pete Buttigieg actually would.
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, it's absurd, but it happened. Even many Bernie bros got sucked into the manosphere & went down the alt-right pipeline. Latino & black men voted for Trump in record numbers. Some for economy & many for culture war issues. Not just trans, but grooming kids & drag queens. Muslims also.
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
That's not true. Culture wars was how the right was able to strip away lots & lots of men (white, black, Latino, young, old) from the Dems & into MAGA. They got hammered over this issue. "Men in women's sports" was one of the most pushed in the manosphere. Pete is a politician, not an activist.
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump inherited a stable, growing economy from Obama, yet left behind a disastrous meltdown. Biden spent 4 years & turned it around with no help from Republicans except sabotage and disruption. In 6 months, Trump managed to destroy everything all over again.

So, nobody in Congress? I think AOC has been excommunicated. There was Jamaal Bowman, but lefties protested him & he got primaried. Jill Stein got .4% doing her best resistance grifting, so that doesn't work. Why can't the left win? Ever? Unlike the right, maybe they don't want to.

Unlike the right, the left doesn't like power or to win elections. There are ZERO leftists in Congress that they haven't excommunicated, & AOC was next on the chopping block. Jamaal Bowman got axed last year. They already started attacking Mamdani. Expect protests against him by October.

According to an old British tabloid, Maxwell introduced one of Epstein's victims to Trump. This was in 1997. They were doing this all in the open. I wonder how many more articles can be found linking Trump & Epstein/Maxwell?
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump is pissed that he has to explain himself, something he hates to do. I swear he wants to come out & say, "Of course I did it. So what." Then, he expects his loyal followers to cheer about it. Sick part is, if they thought it could somehow own the libs, MAGA would celebrate Trump & Epstein.

Conservatives always support a big, oppressive government. They wrote the Patriot Act & made TSA, Homeland Security, indefinite detention, papers-please, free speech zones, & Guantanamo. Naturally, they want FEMA camps with zero oversight, military patrolling the streets, & Palantir surveillance.

Republicans won't care. Trump will tell them gas is 57 cents a gallon or inflation is the lowest anyone has ever seen before & the massive MAGA media apparatus will praise him for his amazing leadership. The Dems' messaging will never reach those who need to see it.
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
MAGA only cares about things they are told to. It's why Republicans in rural Idaho lose sleep over immigration. Or a grandmother in suburban Oklahoma has nightmares about drag queens. Or how Utah spent millions just to ban a single trans athlete from playing girls' sports in high school.
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
MAGA will just call it woke & gay. Reasoning, empathy, shame, & hypocrisy are meaningless when it comes to cults. Trump already told them, "Do not believe anything the Dems say about my Big Beautiful Bill. It's all lies. I am saving lives." Dems desperately need new consultants & strategists.

The GOP bends to Trump. His words are repeated ASAP, in unison, & celebrated by every MAGA voice on social media. No matter what, their right-wing enthusiastically supports Trump. The Dems don't have a comparable left-wing that supports & spreads their message unconditionally. It's not a cult.

In my city, I've seen Ukrainian, Israeli, Italian, Pride, & Black Lives Matters flags. Driving to my hometown in WV, I saw were Confederate flags & lots of Trump ones. They are all meant to show solidarity to certain groups. I don't think flying an Irish flag means you want to be sent to Ireland.
Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
The American left has gone out of their way to make it known that they are neither Democrats nor liberals. They exclusively protested Dems (Harris, Biden, AOC, even Jamaal Bowman). Outside of that, there's no real interest in winning elections, organizing, building coalitions, or gaining power.

The left didn't cause Harris/Walz to lose. Inflation & culture wars did. Much of the left doesn't vote, which showed when Jill Stein (who did her best pro-Palestine campaign) got a half of percent. That was her worst showing yet. The left doesn't really care about winning elections, just protests.

You're homophobic, therefore a bigot. Own it. You also talk about conservative arabs in Michigan who voted for Trump due to anti-gay policies like they are infants, so you're the racist. "They can't help it. America's foreign policies make them hate gay people." Dumb.

My original post stated that Palestine wasn't the reason why Harris/Walz lost election & even many Arabs (who fake lefties think are ALL obsessed with Palestine) also voted for Trump due to inflation & culture wars. I am correct. Then, you defended homophobia because of bombs or something. Dumb.

Yup. Egg prices & culture wars. That's my point. Palestine had nothing to do with Harris/Walz losing. We agree.

I grew up an orphan who spent 3 years on the street & now sell cupcakes. I voted for Harris/Walz, neither of whom were commanders in chief in my first presidential election. The Muslims in Michigan who like Trump paid much more in taxes than I have, so according to you, they support genocide.

Matthew (@mateofrompa.bsky.social) reply parent
The black woman didn't lose because of Palestine. If that was so important, Jill Stein would have gotten more than a half percent. Culture wars & the economy took front seat. Even Muslims saw "queers for Palestine" & said, "fuck that. I'm voting for Trump, the guy who supports a Muslim ban." Lol.
