Giving every American man a blowjob has a bigger chance of electoral succes for them than any of their other hopeless plans to try and appeal to chuds.
I personally do not want a blowjob from Joe Biden, aka a "joejob".
Who wouldnt want a little sloppy Joe
Nothing says appealing to the working class man like spending millions at luxury hotels.
Will you give me the universal healthcare I've been pleading to get for the last like 10+ years?
No, but I can do blue colored racism though!
10+? Youngin' we pleading for it back in the 60's so much that Ronald Reagan, the actor, was hired to put out an LP about the evils of socialized medicine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan_Speaks_Out_Against_Socialized_Medicine
Ya see... and LP was a "long playing" record this is what we had before your "CDs" and "iPods" and they were better too because...
Jesus Christ. The floor is actual leftism, and the democrats are in fucking space trying to out conservative the conservatives.
"How do we win voters back?"
"I know, we'll just copy what the republicans are doing"
"Isn't that what we've been doing since 1992? Doesn't that coincide with the long road of people having less faith in us to actually get anything done?"
"Well, yeah, but it's bound to work this time"
Dems can't go left because going left alienates their donors and donor-serving geriatric leadership. At most they only want strategies that pander vaguely left without following through and even the pandering is a bridge too far for most of them.
Dems are fine with losing. They don't really believe in anything aside from neoliberal warkhawkishness that would make Reagan blush, so they feel no psychological damage from being unable to enact policy. And they are personally economically just fine with lossrs, they can use them to solicit money and positions by being the "lesser evil'.
Democrats have “lost credibility by being seen as alien on cultural issues,” McCrary added.
The issue isn't that the democrats are "alien on cultural issues".
The issue is that the cultural issues are elevated above the issues of general everyday survival facing the majority of people. Bernie never really opposed any of the cultural or identity issues of the left, he even vocally supported them, but he remained widely popular because he prioritised the issues of everyday survival that all working people have.
You don't become alien by caring about cultural or identity things. You become alien by behaving like there is nothing else at all of any importance or value besides those things. It makes you look like an out of touch sheltered bourgeois alien from another planet that knows nothing of struggle faced by the average person every day.
well fixing the everyday issues is a nonstarter so clearly the only thing to do is find the right mix of racist dogwhistles
When Bernie Sanders had popular support from working class men the democrats denigrated his entire base of support as berniebros.
Instead of studying how to manipulate us, maybe try uh... studying what we want? And then tell us how you're going to give it to us? And then make good on your promises? Fucking scum.
It kind of feels like the only thing they're studying is increasingly stern ways to scold us and demand our obedience in the same breath.
How do I get in on this grift?
Gain minor cred by doing some PMC Dem bullshit (work for a campaign, be a liberal in a union and shmooze with politicians, etc) and start a consultancy. Or work for an existing PMC Dem consultancy and steal clients to start your own.
The Democratic Party is 90% consultancies like this keeping its "thought leaders" well-paid through a combination of party funds and direct donor funds, funds directed to carry out "strategic" work in the directiom defined by donors.

Okay first of all this is not SAM, it's SWAMASP. Use all the letters, you cowards.
In this vein, a superior acronym is very accessible: Speaking With American Men: Planning Action Strategies Synergistically
Healthcare plz
healthcare please
try and convince working-class to vote for them
see, they're giving up their game without even realizing. they're so out of touch, they don't realize they're exposing with their word choices that they just... aren't thinking about anything beyond "The Campaign".
Policy isn't an afterthought, it's never a thought. The DNC haven't just abandoned their voters, they've abandoned politics
The "Bernie 'bro' narraative" and its consequences.
Bruh, you dont have to spend millions. I know it will probably blow their minds, but they can try going to places where working class men are to learn how to win them over.
But of course the democrats are a fundraising org. They cant do anything that doesnt require raising and spending millions.
I have to imagine "spending millions" for them isn't the same as "spending millions" for us. For us, you spend the money and get a product and in so doing no longer have the money. For them, when they first have the money, it's the democratic party's money, but they personally want the money. Therefore they have to spend it on consulting themselves and their friends for putting ads in video games (an agency that they and their friends probably run) and still being racist (a pastime). Then the donations cease to be cookies in the cookie jar and cookies in their hands, as it were. That's when they spend it on renovating summer homes (for airbnb), some kind of slop that's covered in gold leaf, and a big useless bland green lawn.
Why don't they just use their AIPAC money and pre-cognition stocks to do that? Why didn't Van Gogh just ask ChatGPT to make a Ghibli style picture of the night sky? The love of the game.
with donors and strategists holing up in luxury hotel rooms brainstorming how to convince working-class men
Two paragraphs in and theyre already tone deaf.
Theyre quite literally handing working class jackasses to republicans. Weaponized incompetence or what?
The Democratic Party is 100% cooked
~20 years ago you could still find lots of democrats primarily committed to raising the minimum wage and making it easier to organize unions. Democrats should try that again. They definitely won't.
lol remember how we were running Fight For 15 campaigns like 15 years ago and nothing happened and now things have almost doubled in cost and the fed minimum wage is still 7.25/hr
And 3/4 of the time was spent theorizing on how to get men to donate, the Democratic Party's only concern.
they're blowing all this money to court the worst guys on earth when all they have to do is have a five finger death punch concert and call mayor pete a slur
they would have had better luck giving the brokest 200,000 MFs $100.
Paying corporate consultants $20 million to 'means test' ... how to fucking talk to ... the largest, second largest? demographic of constituents and voters ... which is like 85% of a politician or political party's... entire fucking job...
Making policy proposals is not that complicated, thats what the wonks are for.
Yep, this is the most 'Democrat Party' thing I can think of.
Yep, we are so fucking bad at our jobs that we are now just contracting out the most fundamental component of it.
Oh dear lord I hope I can get residency in some other country within the next couple of years.
They think they have a messaging problem, rather than a sickness in their souls.
So outreach and better ads, NOTHING about changing policy
always be condescending
abc of politics
I'm an american men, ask me what I think you should do
What is to be done?
Literally anything to not give us healthcare huh?
just the absolute least authentic people ever
Democrats studying the working class like Jack Skellington studying Christmas (kinda unfair, since Jack actually likes Christmas)
The men in my life are pretty focused on their material conditions rn, maybe they should try improving those.
Millions on luxury hotels huh?
Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.
