So odd how dems always fumble it away.
Eh, Obama went hard on election stuff and so did Bill. This hubris seems recent and tied to a belief that Trump isn't a serious candidate.
Did the same thing with Dubya.
"That other guy is terrible" is a really bad way to go into an election.
Neither side knows how to fix things, but one of them lies and says it does. Being the incumbent doesn't help either, because if you do say you know how to fix things the obvious reply is "well why haven't you done it then?"
I would argue both sides know how to fix things but neither one is willing to do ALL the work required ... especially when it comes to re-regulating Wall St, taxing the rich across the board (like they were post-WW2), and clamping down on the billions of dollars donated through super PACs that essentially buys elections.
Gotta love this 'murican culture of nurturing the worst of the worst then wondering why it backfires. Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and the Colombian drug cartels come to mind.
It's not like hes won before, right? /s
It's almost like it's on purpose... Like the offense and defense of the capital class...
Surely the people that own everything wouldn't use the government to get what they want.
Of course not! It's the best democracy in the world, anyone can buy it!
What, regulatory capture is real? Surely voting harder will fix that.
That's because the corporatists that control the messaging want some periodic austerity to keep the working class in line. "You should be happy with what we give you" or something like that.
Yes… odd
