People don’t like gray areas. It doesn’t give them anything to lean on. The GOP isn’t gray. They lean strong one way and stick with it. The Dem tries to accommodate everyone by being diplomatic. Diplomacy doesn’t work well when most of the country doesn’t care about being in the middle.

Vote or die was extreme. It gave people something to choose from. And fear causes reaction. Bush’s presidency was god awful, but we survived it and got Obama.
I’m not a fan of instilling fear to garner votes but it works for republicans. The thing is you can’t do that with us. Black people done seen and been through it all so you can’t scare us into a vote. Can’t say the same about these other people. Cacs are scary, Latinos scary, Asians scary…..tell them the boogey man coming and they gonna vote for you.

I think the main thing was the economy but if this is true, the misogyny might be bigger than I thought...can't think of anything else that would explain that huge shift within that group
I explained it earlier in this thread. It definitely played a part, if not the biggest part.

FBI director is gone, DOJ done, Dept of Education done.

Buckle up
Yep.

Vaccines for kids - over. RFK is now the head of the HHS.
EPA gone.
HBCU funding - dead.
CHIPS ACT gone. If you still have Intel in your portfolio, dump it. They are dead.
Civil Rights divisions, gone.
Social security for anyone under 62 will be cut, while they will.extract more out of the checks from.Blue State workers.

If you are a Fed worker I truly hope you have 30 years and can retire. There will be a swift migration of federal workers with talent to Blue State State agencies.

Yep. Psychology manipulation has been a tactic long used in many aspects of society to get people to go a particular way.

It mostly affects those that are short sighted. And if you include god in it all then you’ll gain a lot of support.

maybe now Dems will finally understand they need a true radical leftist candidate... I wouldn't bet on it though
I'm surprised your getting people to agree with you on this thread after the anti-leftist and anti-Bernie sentiments that were posted here just a few days ago.

Of course it’s different. It was different 4 years ago, 8 years ago, 16 years ago, and x-many years ago.

You was different during those periods as well. So was I and everyone in this thread.

I REFUSE to fear the future or any mutha fucka that walks this planet.

I respect

But a little fear isn't a bad thing Spock

A healthy fear

I promise you
