How about do basic stuff that people understand ...
... like tax the hell out of billionaires and use the money on people in the country.
... stop financing overseas wars and use that free money on people in the country
.... then just keep repeating and blasting everyone that all the money the government is collecting from rich idiots and not spending on war is being spent on everyone ...... rinse, repeat 10,000 times.
Yep. And there's precedent for this. (Even though with this Supreme Court precedent counts for jack shit...)
Every time Bernie got asked a question he'd turn it around to mentioning the top 1% and how they're fucking us over. And people liked him for it. I had MAGA hat folks tell me they liked him because of it back in 2016.
MAGA would say that and vote straight R
Yeah but they wouldn't say that about anyone else I can think of. And we're not trying to get MAGA, we're trying to get people to fucking vote at all.
They'll say that about anyone claiming to be an outsider.
Because the DNC sceapped those proposals for more neoliberal bullshit that every one hates. People are vocal about what they care about. If people tell me they want steak and i keep giving them tacos, they are going to leave the restaurant and get pizza from the sketchy local joint next door instead.
What proposals for what neoliberal bullshit.
Also neoliberal policies from a neoliberal party?!? Surely you jest!
If a neoliberal party can't win 2 out of 3 elections against a fascist, maybe they should pivot away from neoliberalism.
To what exactly? Neoliberalism is left wing in this shit hole.
Don't say progressive. If that was popular there would be more than two states that have a progressive party.
I think that's a false premise. Third parties are virtually always losing propositions due to the structure of our elections. In a race of red versus blue, if an orange candidate enters the race and some of the red voters vote orange instead because orange more closely fits their preferences, then blue wins with 40% of the vote when 60% of the electorate wanted a warm color.
I'll also point out that Obama campaigned on a message of hope and progress to two victories.
