Dems don't want to win every election because that would break the scam.
Send in the republicans to loot our money and then send in the dems to fix everything up enough to where they can loot again.

I keep saying this but it feels like the Dems are a Russia-style controlled opposition party.
Doesn't mean 100% of them are garbage, but the leadership sure does seem like it hates the idea of successful opposition
Fix? Best we can do is Most Lethal Military Ever and expanding the programs we all agreed were bad under Trump.
It's time to reform the government.
Edit: and people need to seriously consider what that looks like. Especially once the smoke clears
Changing the voting system is the first step.
A lot of smart people have looked at this problem. With years of study, lots of math, and some real world testing, the best option for a replacement is STAR.
This right here. Get rid of the electoral college and make all voting mandatory STAR voting is a great start.
We also need to somehow end the legalized bribery and get money out of politics, to ensure those elected work for US, not the donor class. And we sure as hell shouldn’t be letting foreign governments buy and control our politicians (AIPAC, saudis, looking at you especially).
At this point, the Dem party consider themselves retired.; enjoying their investor's cash, and playing fiddle while DC burns.
What does +n favourability mean?
There's 100 people in the room
10 think you're annoying, 80 love you, 10 dont care
A "net" when talking numbers is the difference, so you would have a net favorability of 70%. Because it's the people who like you minus the people who dislike you, and no one cares about the people who don't care.
Quick edit:
I didn't check if that 73% is real or just to make a point, but if it is, 73% net favorability is obviously insanely popular. Cracking 50% overall is pretty much considered a shoe in
First male bashing and gaslighting, now that they are desperate they want the votes. They have to fundamebtally chance to drag men back in.
