Why would they stop? That’s been the most effective attack they’ve had in a long time! Especially because it’s true, and I think the Republicans know it on some level.

How was it “effective?” While it did make some Cons mad, name calling isn’t a viable strategy to winning, and it really just makes Libs look like that’s the best strategy they have
They were up in the polls and now they are dead tied. Was stopping weird the only thing to do that? No probably not but their swing to the opposite of just trying to convince people they are themselves Republicans doesn’t seem to be working effectively.
Except at losing
And have they checked Twitter? None of the republicans are buying their “well shucks y’all, we’re folksy conservatives too!” garbage.
There’s like 10 guys in the country who want to vote Republican but dislike Trump enough not to vote for him. These are the 10 guys the final months of the election are spent trying to win.
Every other Republican wants the name brand uncut trump power. Why go for Kamala when you can just have trump.
Of course Kamala could still and could have spent her time trying to convince those left of her to vote by highlighting how different she is from Trump and Biden. Unfortunately she doesn’t actually have many notable policy differences I suppose.
It was effective because Republicans get a lot of mileage out of pretending to be the “everyman” - and since they can’t claim it on economic grounds, they claim it based on pure vibes. But really anyone who’s at all involved in Republican politics is actually a freak far beyond either your average republican voter, or even a center to left political freak. Their policies are incredibly unpopular to the point where if you even tell a conservative voter what the policies are, they think they’re so outlandish that you’re literally lying to make your opponents sound insane. It made cons mad because it was working. Then the Clinton people broke down the door and put a stop to it
They don’t have policy. They don’t have a charismatic figure. They don’t have a cool slogan. The only things they have are name calling and promising to be more ghoulish than the opposition; I can’t imagine the electorate is more likely to be swooned by the current Dick Cheney strategy than the previous name calling strategy.You’re right on every count but i preferred it to their current right-wing pandering. This shit feels like stalking an ex on Facebook and watching them get radicalized by their new blue-line beau
Why would they stop?
Dems started doing bipartisant shit again so they couldnt keep doing the attacks anymore
But hey, now you have Dick Cheney
Meanwhile all the libs are cheering as if this was a good thing because unity or something. Yeah nah if Dick Cheney likes you you’ve done something wrong.
Ratchet theory of American Politics strikes again.
waiting for the day that democrats look upon cheney’s as democratic heros like they do with obama; or clinton; or carter; or roosevelt; etc.
Gotta love that “Every Dem is basically Ronald Reagan at this point” feeling!
i was alive an active during the reagan years and i think this one’s worse because the bad stuff that didn’t come from the top in that period originated from a place of genuine ignorance. the internet makes genuine ignorance impossible so now all the bad stuff comes from a place of intention through willful ignorance and it think that’s worse.
afterall believing that a group show be looked down upon because that how you’re taught to be behave is one thing and fixable with a little bit of knowledge; but believing that those people should be denigrated because they deserve it is both an entirely different scenario and also unfixable w/o them letting you into their psyche.
It only really worked until voters got to know Harris and Walz, who are both incredibly weird in their own right
It started working so they dropped it.
Im sure we’re not far away from ‘progressive’ libs pulling out the old trump and magas are narcissistic demons with black eyes, I really wasnt enjoying them throwing around ‘weird’ as they have been
Kamala was poised to start her Republican praise tour, so that line of attack had to be canned.
They brought in UK Labor party strategists who have encourage the campaign to follow Starmer’s example of trying to bring in conservatives, non withstanding that Starmer got less votes than Corbyn and only won because of Tory/Reform party vote splitting.
it turned out all their big donors are massive weirdos, so they received instructions to cool it.
They got “lol tumblr SJW” PTSD from the last time they ever fought back against racists and went back to ring-kissing republicans…who still call them tumblr SJWs.
SJW is ancient
Now it’s DEI woke
They did, apparently new conservative advisors advised them to stop using it because it might alienate white suburbanites. Its why we’ve seen the vibe shift after the Walz pick. They decided to court white suburbanites and never trump republicans rather than their natural base. The Democrats love to lose folks.
“Wow everything is going great, tell you what let’s bring on some new advisors and completely change course” - Rational, sane, smart thing to do
“Wow everything is going to shit, tell you what let’s continue to listen to these new advisors we brought on and not listen to the people we listened to when everything was going great.” - Also rational sane and a very smart move.Dems have the best political instincts!
new conservative advisors
The UK Labor Party narrowly won an election they should’ve taken in a landslide and sent over all their consultants to ‘help’ Kamabla, and they’re the ones who got them off the weird shit.
Which the ‘weird’ thing had annoying ableist undertones but it was also working a lot better than whatever they’re doing now.
Oh well, death to amerikkka, nice to see them eating shit with the new strat, the genocidal pain pigs they are.
But it’s gonna be Jill Stein and leftist’s fault when she loses.
to the polls.Now some of the “bipartisanship” makes sense. Republicans just want to ditch Trump for that more competent fascist and then abandon Harris in 2028. Dems narrowly squeeze out a win and then the more competent fascist and other fash cronies win big time in 2028 as democrats completely let their guard down.
Do they have one of those in the pressure cooker? They all seem out of touch. I would expect someone who read Kapital, said “fantastic!”, and was a natural public speaker to fill that role and act as an insidious ratchet turner. Instead they’re like if Holsten Bloodfeast used ChatGPT to say the most average talking points of a Google search for being an asshole
They should just declare the democratic-republican party and end this 2 party farce they have been running for over a century now
the democratic-republican party
Bring back the whigs
After trump, the Republicans will find someone more palatable to run. Those white suburbanites they’ve been working so hard to court will go right back.
In the end they’ll only alienate more POC.
I remember hearing about it on some podcast around a week ago. They brought on a strategist from either Biden 2020 or Clinton 2016 who thought that “weird” was running a negative attack campaign. It doesn’t match the vibes of Joy Reich where you can only do wholesome things like advocate for genocide.
Democratic party guide to campaigning
When your polls are
get rid of whoever it is that’s advising you and bring in some new people from failed campaigns
When your polls are
don’t change what you’re doing! That will make you look weak! Especially now that you just changed advisors!Remember 99% of politicians stop supporting genocide right as it becomes popular
@[email protected] prevails.
It was too effective. If they raised thr bar that much the GOP could poke one of their obvious weak spots. They can both only stand up because they agree not to fight too hard
Liz Cheney got a standing ovation at the Copmala FireSSide Chat. They know their ideal audience.
