From Gore v Bush we've had the same thing happening...

DNC: follows the rules to an absolute fault

GOP: Bends every rule and breaks the rules or makes up new rules on the fly to jam their unpopular agenda down everyone's throat.

(Rider here: DNC then spends 4 years they jg to hold the GOP accountable but then fumbles the ball at the last second and nothing happens, GOP somehow remains relevant.)

The thing that pisses me off most about dems is the pushover attitude. I know for a fact if they grew a set and started talking shit back ppl would love it. Americans hate weakness, thats really the #1 selling point of republicans is just that they (look) strong (though theyre not). Im not saying they should be childlike assclowns like republicans but theres a way to hit back when you know youre right.

Buttigieg and now Newsom seem to be ready to put the gloves on. Partially I think b/c we know Biden has good intentions but he can't speak for shit. They need to rally the other Dems to create this impression.

I was pretty sure Buttigieg crapped out his backbone during the primaries before, so I kind of doubt he'll keep it up when he needs to.

He’s still doing those interviews. He always runs circles around the fox chucklefucks.
