    Yeah, I think hoping that arguments about incoherent ideologies will sway voters is exactly why democrats keep losing.

      That is a pretty weird take to me. Especially with all of the other, much more visible, reasons democrats keep losing. But I’m not here to change your mind. Nor do I think there is a ton of hope in changing hearts and minds when both of the organs are rotten to the core by 70 years of rightwing fuckery in schools, media, and public discourse. But hoping when hope is mostly gone is kind of my thing.

        The other reasons are just more symptoms of the same thing: being out of touch with the people. Party leaders keep talking about how MAGA are hypocrites or how right wing legal theories are flawed like it’s going to convince anyone to stop voting for Trump. It won’t.
