Why would they stop? That's been the most effective attack they've had in a long time! Especially because it's true, and I think the Republicans know it on some level.

They did, apparently new conservative advisors advised them to stop using it because it might alienate white suburbanites. Its why we've seen the vibe shift after the Walz pick. They decided to court white suburbanites and never trump republicans rather than their natural base. The Democrats love to lose folks.

Now some of the "bipartisanship" makes sense. Republicans just want to ditch Trump for that more competent fascist and then abandon Harris in 2028. Dems narrowly squeeze out a win and then the more competent fascist and other fash cronies win big time in 2028 as democrats completely let their guard down.

They should just declare the democratic-republican party and end this 2 party farce they have been running for over a century now

Bring back the whigs

Do they have one of those in the pressure cooker? They all seem out of touch. I would expect someone who read Kapital, said "fantastic!", and was a natural public speaker to fill that role and act as an insidious ratchet turner. Instead they're like if Holsten Bloodfeast used ChatGPT to say the most average talking points of a Google search for being an asshole

new conservative advisors

The UK Labor Party narrowly won an election they should've taken in a landslide and sent over all their consultants to 'help' Kamabla, and they're the ones who got them off the weird shit.

Which the 'weird' thing had annoying ableist undertones but it was also working a lot better than whatever they're doing now.

Oh well, death to amerikkka, nice to see them eating shit with the new strat, the genocidal pain pigs they are.

"Wow everything is going great, tell you what let's bring on some new advisors and completely change course" - Rational, sane, smart thing to do
"Wow everything is going to shit, tell you what let's continue to listen to these new advisors we brought on and not listen to the people we listened to when everything was going great." - Also rational sane and a very smart move.

Dems have the best political instincts!

After trump, the Republicans will find someone more palatable to run. Those white suburbanites they've been working so hard to court will go right back.

In the end they'll only alienate more POC.

But it's gonna be Jill Stein and leftist's fault when she loses. volcel-kamala to the polls.
