Honestly I never comment here, it’s just talking into a void. But I’m stuck home anyway. But the reason, in my opinion that Democrats are not “aggressive” is their voters.
I never comment because I’m just irritated by people’s conversations. People complain here all the time but refuse to sacrifice anything to change things. Then they reinforce each other’s powerlessness and insist there’s nothing they can, or should, do.
Worst of all, and answering your question, in tandem with our fickle attitude to civic duty, we abandon our representatives at any and every given opportunity. If someone doesn’t 100% represent us (which no one but YOURSELF ever will) we abandon them. If they say something outrageous, we abandon them. If they, god forbid, are human and have flaws, even if they’ve still done everything they can to press something similar to our agenda, we abandon them.
Look at Al Franken as a perfect example. A firebrand, cynical, quick tongued Democrat who didn’t take Republican bs, and could show it easily on television in a way that easily resonated with American audiences. Taken down in ONE scandal by what was most likely a political hit job. Republicans recognized how dangerous he was, and knew that Democrats would use their own self-righteousness to destroy their own savior. But they touted Mueller, a REPUBLICAN AGENT OF US NATIONAL SECURITY to be their own GodKing, only because he didn’t say shit, not even when he should’ve, which filled the average Democratic idiot with that hit of self-righteousness they love so much.
Democrats have failed in this section of history because the party, and its voters are inherently unfit to lead this country. We, apparently lack the strength and willpower to enact our vision of what society should be. We’re just as morally stuck up our own ass as the Republicans, and people don’t support us en masse because for the past decades the “thinkers” of our party (INCLUDING VOTERS) have, when it came down to it decided fairness was more important than clean water, food and health care for people who didn’t have it. Because we were, and still are more concerned with the other side “liking” our ideas too, rather than dragging them kicking and screaming into a new world like our predecessors did before us, and like THEY are doing to us now.
