They want to lose so badly
Hellworld nightmare fuel: the GOP continues to do outreach like this, maybe they even offer some real gains in the form of either minor criminal justice reform (during which they talk about undoing the “Democrat Crime Bill”) and/or economic programs a la Kamala’s “small business in an undeserved community blah blah” shit but more substantial. They see gains in the black vote, especially among upwardly mobile white collar types. This has the secondary effect of alienating the few remaining hardcore, old school white supremacists, who are comfortable going back to voting for Democrats. The GOP conducts some very detailed polling to illustrate this transition and publicizes it very well, painting the Dems as, once again, the party of white supremacy, versus a GOP that is now a resurgent Party of Lincoln.
The Democrats stand there with a smoking gun in their hand and a bullet hole in their foot, scratching their ass in an effort to find their head.
It’s almost like bourgeois parties are a dead-end.
I don’t really care whether the “lesser of two evils” has an R or a D next to their name.
The day the Republicans start addressing wealth inequality and talking about the class war, is the day the Democratic party dies forever.
The Dems nominating Joe Biden shows how much they care about the poor people. The next 4 years are going to be them waging naked class war on us while offering the usual empty platitudes and identity politics. We’re fast approaching the point where neither of those things work anymore for liberalism.
The Dems wanted to be the Republican party of the old days and they achieved it by nominating Biden. He is basically George W Bush 2.0 and they love that. Biden’s message to all of us? Fuck you if you’re poor. The austerity his admin wants to push during the hardest economic conditions since the great depression will lead to a massive backlash from the right wing.
