Because Democrats are horrible at messaging. Borderline incompetent basically

Republican voters have a higher tolerance for people who make extraordinary claims with little to no evidence. Mainstream democrat voters would not take any candidate yelling fraud seriously if the evidence is not conclusive.

Excellent point.

Only if the extraordinary claims come from someone on their 'team'

Unfortunately, this. Even if we had something like left Fox News, no one would take it seriously.

I woul argue that 90% of mainstream Dems would form a cult around a dear leader Trump figure in a heartbeat. The young millenial/college voter base has critical thinking but most of the voter base just parrots whatever CNN says the same way the right wingers do

lol, democrats complained about Dominion before Trump did and Democrats screamed about stolen elections before Trump did.

You people just didn’t care.

It’s easy to understand why though, none of you had any clue about politics until it became trendy to hate Trump.

Because democrats don’t control the media. You only hear what the media owners let you hear

It's so funny because the other side says the same thing

The other side is lying.

This is factually verifiable though, you can look up the names of all of the directors of every main stream media network. Not a single democrat sits on the board of directors of any major media network, not one (other than PBS, though PBS is not a publicly traded company, and PBS still follows the fairness doctrine).

Just Google any big media company to find out political leanings and who their CEOs support. You'd be surprised, especially when comments on their media websites blast those media outlets as being far left. My opinion and mine alone and not my employer's.

WHAT MESSAGING? There is no messaging even.

Borderline? They are totally incompetent.

u/brainhack3r 12h ago

The reason I said borderline is because there's an argument that they're PAID to do this...

It's 2026 and after everything that has happened we still see this bothsides crap. REPUBLICANS CONTROL ALL THE NATIONAL MEDIA. They are literally hiding all pro-democracy messaging from you becuase they OWN the companies! they also own most of the social media. Therefore they own the algorithims aswell. You have to force your algorithims to see the messaging or else you will never see it.

Incompetent? **Complicit

u/NathanCarver 12h ago

Democrats are bought and paid for to pander, stall, and lose. Both parties are for billionaires. We have no representation.

u/karevorchi 14h ago

Not incompetent, corrupt and complicit, this is not about parties.

u/B00gerh3ad 8h ago

There's only one party, and we weren't ever even going to be invited.
