    its job

    It’s not a vending machine or a listing on Amazon. It’s not a company that exists to provide you a service. If it has the money and the volunteers and the messaging, it convinces people and it wins. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

      The democrats had a billion dollars in the last election and still lost to a semiliterate buffoon.

      They have the money. They had the volunteers. And they still lost.

      Maybe how they’re using that money and volunteer effort is broken? Nah, it’s my fault for not giving them every last dime and quitting my job to go knock on doors.

        That is a problem. Republicans have captured the media. I agree that the only possible way forward for Democrats at this point is to recapture the media. All the money and policies in the world won’t matter if Republicans can spew propaganda uncontested.

        It’s also a bit of a bigger issue that people are so gullible, but I don’t think we can fix that any time soon.
