Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

They are trying to copy the 2010 Republican Playbook, where the message is "We have no unifying message except we're against the other guys". That played well in 2010 because Obama was a bitch-made, focusing solely on unpopular legislation thatby their own admission regarded american voters as "stupid", bailing out banks while the economy shit the bed around him, and his only economic recovery activity being to help businesses send work overseas while making it easier to enter - and stay - in the US as an illegal immigrant.

"Everything is fucked up, vote for anything other than what we've got, because anything is better than this" only works when everything is fucked up.

In 2018 the economy is booming, world powers are griping about having to deal with Trump but still being forced to play his game and despite the repeated promises, there are still zero Gay & Tranny deathcamps.
It was very effective in my opinion. While the millennials were and still now distracted by his dance and singing moves on Ellen, a lot of middle class workers and several of the Jimmy Dore progressives were quickly aware how full of shit Obama was. They made 2010 and 2014 a lesson for him for selling them out by voting out his party in office. Now, he personally got a break in 2012 despite the continued molesting his party was getting because Mitt Romany fucked up.

Bush shit the bed hard during his eight years and his party suffered for it, but once he left they quickly rebounded by distancing themselves from his bullshit he did and won back voters. If the Democrats want to pull this miracle, they need to admit Obama sucked hard.
 
To be fair, you have to have a really high IQ to understand Barrack Obama. The recovery policies are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of economics most of the money will go over a typical deplorable head. There's also Obama's foreign outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Muslim literature, for instance. The liberals understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of Obama, to realize that he's not just great- He also says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Obama truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the greatness in Obama's existential catchphrase "If, If, If, If, If, If," which in itself is a cryptic reference to the epic, Okie Dokie. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the DNC's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools...how i pity them.:smug:

What the DNC really needs to do is to stop believing their own hype.
Because wasting time and resources in States like Texas and Tennessee and Kansas and Georgia and God only knows where else just because "The Pundits said there would be a Blue Wave" sure isn't gonna make said Blue Wave happen.
Of course whats obvious to you and me right now will be the Hottest of Hot Takes in two months when everyone is scrambling to explain What Happened 2018 Edition.

I'm at the point where I think the leadership of the DNC is just clueless as to how this messaging/platform could fail, while the people they rely on to try to get their finger on the pulse of what the voters want are the socjus progressive types who believe their own hype.

That's not to say that I don't think they'd still be the same self-serving agenda-driven neoliberal shitstains if they hired people who actually knew how to guide the ship that is their party image out of troubled waters, but I think it's the main (if not sole) reason they're not only in the hole but keep fucking digging.

Both the Obama/Clinton wing is by the numbers self-serving agenda fueled by corporations and Hollywood, who basically run the party. The Sanders wing meanwhile is becoming super generic as the candidates they have follow the exact same agenda as Sanders, which will fall if they don’t spice it up.

Basically, the Democrats are super fucked yet they insist that they’re just fine.

I sometimes get the impression that the DNC leaders have been so rich for so long, they don't know how ordinary people live. They spend so much time focusing on the poor, they lose sight of the middle class entirely. And they're so used to being rich themselves, they can't fathom that most people are actually content to be middle class, or that middle-class living is actually quite comfortable.

So they divide the populace up, in their heads, between "rich people like me, except greedy and hateful" and "poor people with nothing", and then pander to the wider public with promises of gibsmedat--little realizing that for most of us who work hard, their programs put us in the "greedy rich people who will pay for this" category, while the people who don't actually do anything or shouldn't even be on this side of the border fall into the latter. (And they conveniently manage to exclude themselves from the payout group, too, which just gives it all a nice savor of hypocrisy.)

Now add a dash of the patrician patronage philosophy they've been operating from for the last century, where they feel they must be the guardians and keepers of the lesser people, and you've got yourself a recipe for "out of touch".

That was precisely what happened in 2016.

I've referenced the book Shattered before, about Hillary's campaign. One of the key fuck-ups she was making was ignoring the intel her central team in Brooklyn was getting from the 'boots on the ground' types in various states.

There were at least two cases (in different states) where Dem operatives were telling HQ 'We can't make any headway here, let us move to this other state where maybe we can nudge it over to our side.' And HQ was telling them, based on polling data and their own analysis programs, 'Oh no, stay there, you can keep the Republicans busy and waste Trump's resources'.

The result was what? FIVE states flipping from blue to red for Trump? I can't be arsed to check right now.

The problem is that the Dems have a lot of tech savvy people, but they think tech savvy is all you really need to run a successful campaign. Surprise! It's not!
 
It also appears that the DNC has yet to choose an official front runner for 2020.

It's the only reason I can see why every Dem senator keeps sticking their own fist up their ass, trying to make a bigger and bigger show for just how anti-Trump they are.

They've done fuck all this entire time other than REEE about Trump, voting strictly 'No' on anything, regardless of personal beliefs, all for the sake of saying fuck you to Trump.

But joke's on them because Hillary is still gonna run in 2020 so she can lose the 3rd time.

Just feel the need to check, is there ANYTHING particularly bad about Kavanaugh, other than "TRUMP PICKED HIM!!! Reeeee!!!"?

They haven't shown anything to be bad or wrong about him. He's as bland as one could be that sticks hard to the constitution.

My state was one that went red for Trump after being blue forever. Hillary never bothered coming here even once, she was busy dicking around in NYC and LA because she'd already been promised the win, so she was wasting time campaigning in solid blue zones to ensure her guaranteed win was an absolute landslide.

The single funniest thing about that book will always be that Shattered's running B-plot is Bill Clinton warning both Mook and Podesta that ignoring the Rust Belt is going to hurt the campaign in the end, only for them to essentially call him an out-of-touch old man trying to re-live the glory days of his own election.

Just feel the need to check, is there ANYTHING particularly bad about Kavanaugh, other than "TRUMP PICKED HIM!!! Reeeee!!!"?

He's a by-the-numbers moderately conservative originalist whose nomination by any other Republican president would be treated as a matter of course, but we live in interesting times and Democrats gotta sperg out over something, I guess.

But they have...

Hillary is still gonna run in 2020 so she can lose the 3rd time.

See, we all know what's coming it's just when they are going to finally out and say their candidate will be Hillary again for 2020.

I think they are going to wait till early-to-mid 2020 before rolling the ol' lich out myself since they already know how the public will react but they are beholden to her for money reasons.

If Hillary really becomes the 21st century's version of Adlai Stevenson I'm going to start unironically thinking brain worms have taken control of the DNC instead of posting it as a joke.

I highly doubt Bernie will run again he's way too old, especially Biden. My three predictions are Cumo, Booker and Harris. I doubt the Sanders wing will earn the nomination unfortunately.

Money is that they are going to try the minority approach so it HAS to be a woman/black or if you want to spit on the face of the people a Muslim
