Maybe supporting genocide and apartheid abroad was, like, a really bad sign or something
"My donors don't want poor people to vote" okay but the "donors" also don't want your party to win? Frankly, they don't want to deal with public opinion at-all... They LOVE buying bad policies to control markets, and they'll try to eliminate anyone who dares to "oppress" them with little things like "oversight" or "democracy"
Remember that weird ass Politico poll last week asking folks what they thought about just throwing Black folks' votes under a bus?
A piece of anecdata:
Political consultant: [sharing tea after our zoom ended] So I was in a meeting last week and I need help processing it.
Me: I'm here.
Her: DNC consultants are telling candidates to avoid talking about Black voters having their representation snatched away.
Me: Shut the fuck up.
Her: Yep. The Dems only want folks to talk about the price of gas and affordability.
Me: Those fuckers. They don't want to win ever again, do they?
Her: Nope. I pressed the consultant. Maybe that's a bad strategy, maybe that's not the way to go. And you know what he said?
Me: What?
Her: He said, Look at me. Look at my billables. I'm doing fine.
Me: ASSHOLES.
That's the party, y'all.
That's the Blue Wave that's supposed to save us.
That poll doesnt look so weird now. It looks like a fucking test balloon.
