    They’ve learned from the GOP that you can be very financially successful saying you’re the only group that can do anything to help…with just a little bit more money.

    Then every time you try and do something, it fails because you didn’t have enough money, and blame everyone else.

        It’s how both of them work, Trump’s emails are structured the same way.

        “Donate today or a [person from a political party] will eat your baby! Only [candidate] can stand up to the mean ol’ [other party].”

        Then 3 days later, video of the two opposing candidates sitting together, laughing, sharing a bottle of scotch, and their spouses sharing recipes at an event.

          Yeah but gop actually does more work to destroy than dems do to move left. So in my mind donating to gop is actually value if you’re a d bag.

            Moving left and destroying rule of law are not, by definition, opposites.

            Building resilient, rights respecting, widely trusted, and protective institutions is the opposite of tearing it all down, and Dems haven’t been good at that in 30 years other than Obama doing a lot to boost up OMB to utilize data and evidence in decision-making. And just look how that’s going at this point.

              Yeah that summarize how I feel. Dems idle center while gop is in fact doing work. The worst possible kind but a GOP supporter is probably happy.
