I WANT ALL THE NETWORK TO EXPLORE WHY REPUBLICANS LOST THE PRESIDENCY

[In It to Win It]

Like they did in 2016.

2 years of why Dems lost after 2016.
2 years of covering Democrat soul searching.

Now, it’s their turn. Do that for them! 2 years of why they lost and 2 years of how they fucked up.

I’m ready!

1. They are still doing it. Asking why

the Democratic Party didn't win by more. And how to reach rural voters.

[In It to Win It]

7. Tell me about it! I hate it so much

When we won in 2018, the story was why didn’t Democrats win by more and “is this really a wave? You didn’t take the senate.”

Now, the story is how Republicans did so well even though Biden won the presidency... because they somehow held on to seats in ruby red states and districts?????

We didn’t oust Mitch McConnell because he won in red ass Kentucky. We didn’t take Lindsey Graham out because he won in red ass South Carolina. We didn’t take gerrymandered red-biased state legislative seats in Texas. We lost seats in the House that happened to be gerrymandered in their favor.

The story everyone’s going with is that “WE LOST” and fail to mention that ITS A RIGGED GAME IN THEIR FAVOR!

Give me a break!!!

2. Now it's why didn't the Democrats win more

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Because ballots were held hostage

[bdamomma]

5. the

media and the repigs need to stop this shit, piling again on us. Everyone has short memories don't they???

[In It to Win It]

11. ...and why didn't we take the Senate?

How we lost to Mitch McConnell in ruby red Kentucky?

Why didn’t we win in Georgia? (Even though Georgia still has a slight Republican bias)

Look at how Lindsey Graham retained his seat in red ass South Carolina?

How Democrats lost gerrymandered state legislature races in Texas?

Blah blah blah. We can never catch a break!

It’s always about how we lost, and how we could have done better... even when we win.

3. Yes, why are the Republicans cast as "default" and the Democrats as "insurgents" ?

That's back-asswards.

6. Where's the narrative that they need to move to the left?

[kacekwl]

14. IDGAF about moving left (whatever that is) be

honest at the very least.

[unblock]

15. I mean the media should be telling republicans they should move to the left

Because every time a democrat loses they tell us we should move to the right.

8. THIS

Because they had been so used to their RW bent that they automatically started on the "Why didn't the Democrats do...? " "Why didn't the Democrats realize...?" "Why did the Democrats lose...?"

It's their default position.

And when they are called out on their NOT hyper-analyzing why the GOP LOST, they get defensive and knee-jerk react with - "Well you know the GOP had a 'higher turnout' than 2016", which completely ignores the question and proffers a non-answer, even when you point out that not only did Democrats have a "higher turnout", but they had many millions MORE of one than the GOP.

9. Yes! What I want them to say is:

1. It's the fact that Trump voters embraced the worst parts of humanity - all the racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia that propelled and enabled Trump to do some despicable things to our country.

2. Trump's mean spirited, abusive nature was a factor. His vileness, rudeness, name calling all contributed.

3. Trump's botched handling of COVID that caused the worst pandemic in a century.

Among many other things.

10. Saw PA Sen Toomey

say that 71M voters supported Trump so their "concerns" about the election shouldn't be dismissed. Never mind the +75M (and counting) people who voted for Biden, they should be patient and wait. F them and the high horse they rode in on. Democrats have had to swallow 2 elections in which they had more votes than Republicans and were told to just "accept" the results for the good of the country.

[In It to Win It]

12. ...because our concerns in 2016 were not dismissed at all🙄

[treestar]

17. Bet they didn't say that in 2016

when the majority voted against Dump. An electoral college minority President should obviously consider those who voted against him. Yet they never mentioned that.

16. Ask people in diners: Why did it become and still is the Trump-Fascist-Republican Party?
