(8,646 posts)Republicans do so have a strong message compared to the Democrats. Their main message? They are against Democrats. Whereas Dems are always trying to play the whole 'we're friends' thing with Republicans. People see that as weakness.
I do agree with gerrymandering. But who talks about it? No one. Why are Democrats not screaming from the rooftops?
I strongly disagree with your assertion that liberals are helping Republicans. I think it's the go-along-to-get-along gang that is the problem. And of course Republicans are liars. And the Democrats rarely stand up and say, "you're lying." They allow them to get away with it.
I will bookmark your statement, because I think it's way off. Hillary may win, but nothing else you say will happen. The boomer generation may be on its way out, but people are people and most are easily manipulated, which is what Republicans do best. I wouldn't count on demographics to win it for you.
Look, I'm a Canadian and I have seen what it takes for the left to win. Strong stances, media blitzes, hard campaigning, solid message. Democrats have done the opposite. And you insist that is how they will win, because demographics. I think that is hopelessly lazy and dangerous. A lot more is needed than that. And to blame the left is absolutely the death knell of the party, IMO. I always find it ironic those who shout 'unity!' are also those who constantly attack the base of the party. Ça fait pas d'bon sens.
