I've never voted for a 100% perfect candidate...and I never will. Expecting perfection is childlike thinking.

You’re misinterpreting what I’m saying. Obviously I voted for the significantly better candidate. But all that aside, dems have a lot of work to do. And they don’t even seem to know it

What "dem incompetence" specifically?

For starters, their lack of messaging in what should be the easiest opposition message in history. They’re also are incompetent at being an opposition party, unable to fight with the ferocity the moment calls for. If they fought, they’d gain support. Instead, they’re wet noodles

Stop the "Dem messaging" trope. People know the policies we'd implement. Our policies win when presented as ballot measures. The white people just don't want to vote for the party with black people in it. Dems haven't won a majority of white voters since passing the Civil Rights Act. Coincidence?

This is a great example of what you’re arguing against lol. You’re essentially saying voters are too stupid to vote for people who support their policy positions. Everyone who doesn’t support dems is racist. Fucking horrible messaging that will win over no one

“They love our policies but hate us as people. But we don’t have a messaging problem” lmao

When religious and racial bigotry is the central organizing principle of the GOP, messaging better won't impact anything.

You’re messaging is “not voting for dems makes you a religious fanatic and/or bigot”, while dems continue to lose despite having widely popular policy positions. Hmmm wonder what’s up there

The Birther Movement, Tea Party, build a wall/ban all Muslims and the attacks on CRT, DEI, Woke, public education, and Blacks are eating the dogs conservative narrative for the last 17 years are all based on religious and racial bigotry.

Nope. Observing that the majority of Republican votes are due to religious and racial bigotry makes messaging irrelevant. Real economy voters and real deficit voters and real law and order voters ALL vote for democrats.

Any specifics? Just being negative about people ignoring the obvious isn't helpful.
