Oh god not the “A vote for the Democrats is a vote for common sense” argument again. You have to offer voters something tangible, not “you’ll be smugly reasonable and rational if you vote for us.”
If you vote for us, we'll reward you with the ability to act like the adult in the room everywhere you go.
Democrats are rebranding to be 2000s republicans.
: “If you’re not a Republican at age 20, you have no sense of humor. If you’re still one at age 40, you have no brain!”
That’s part of the problem, a lot of conservatives that got disillusioned with the GOP under Dubya went to the Democrats. But they’d didn’t adjust their politics, they just dragged the party rightward on everything but token minority/disenfranchised “representation.”
