a big dem impediment to having a good candidate from a voter pov, obvs nothing compared to corporate influence etc haha, is too many dems have expert syndrome they cant just like something they try to nate silver it, absolutely no theory of change just a bunch of cheap heuristics and historical anecdotes they think are universal laws, conclusions worse than if they were just folks
also their messaging sucks
― a (waterface), Thursday, 28 March 2024 20:31 (one month ago) link
imo thats more a result of the things they want sucking than being bad at messaging particularly

Oh absolutely that bill will go nowhere, but otoh, things like that are what plant the seed for eventual change so... I'm not mad at it, even knowing it's just a symbolic thing at this particular point in history.

the example I keep bringing up is how everyone thought "build a wall" was the dumbest shit regardless of political affiliation but once Trump started winning primaries suddenly it became popular on the right. imagine that with an idea that's actually good and can be accomplished

The spectacle of Donald Trump selling $60 Bibles is “a spit in the face of people that really believe”, the Rev Al Sharpton said, amid widespread backlash over the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s latest moneymaking scheme.
“Blasphemy certainly comes to mind,” Sharpton told MSNBC.
“I think that people ought to realize how offensive this is to those of us that really believe in the Bible. He’s doing this during Holy Week. Tomorrow is Good Friday, Sunday is Easter. Of all of the times you want to hustle using the Bible, why would you do it during Holy Week, which is really a spit in the face of people that really believe in the Bible from a Christian point of view?”

My father-in-law taught a high school social studies class where one of the students was a teenage Al Sharpton. FIL says that Sharpton was very bright and opinionated.
