See here’s what I’m wondering, if they are so easy to manipulate, why can’t the left just manipulate them into voting democrat?

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 9 points 3 months ago

They're easy to manipulate if you play off their basic tribal fears and religious bigotry. The Democrats are far from a perfect party but they at the very least aren't openly bigots.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 3 months ago

They do sometimes but a lot of the time Democrats don't use the same tactics or target that demographic.

Because honesty and integrity matter for society. We're trying to create a better world, not replace the Republicans with Democrats who behave just as badly but have a different name.
