Well the argument being made here is that the campaign’s strategy actively depressed turnout.

So not doing normalizing the opposition and implementing the policies your voting base tends to oppose.

The Democratic Party repeatedly expressed the need for a strong Republican Party. They sure got it.

I am not sure you remember but the media reaction to Bernie doing well initially was major outlets like CNN reacting with fear, loathing, and uncertainty. And it impacted rhe course of an election. You had anchors yelling about how Sanders will result in public executions in central park during the primary.

Yeah it is definitely a fascist problem.

I mean I would love to believe there are trns of millions of silent far left protest abstentions, but the fact of the matter is seventy million plus motherfuckers actively went for the overt fascists. Tens of millions more didn’t care enough to at least go third party. This was a turnout problem, not a protest vote problem.

You’re right, it’s only pretending to not have context.

I think it’s fairly apt, to be honest, just apparently not the way you appear to have intended or been aware of.

It’s really become a model for fractal irony.

No disagreement that the campaign is, in fact, doing the campaigning thing.

A good campaign presents their intended policies consistently and favorably. It sells the electorate on casting their vote.

A poor campaign favorably presents inconsistent policies in a vague manner. It erodes faith in what the electorate is voting for.

Policy-wise it is the same Grand Old Party. The vibe and rhetoric is different, but the policy is mostly all there.

SCOTUS: Yeah… the votes mattered there!
