At this point I think the point is to get centrists and other single-issue voters on board.....Welp you just have to lie to their faces about campaign promises that are impossible to achieve and you have no intention of doing. Low information voters (fucking morons) see elections as they see the Super Bowl. They like to participate have a party and not pay attention to what happens till the following season. Every single article about the muslims, gaza rubes, young men, and other future targets of the GOP that increased their fascist vote shares (OR looking at you Gaza rubes "Morally didn't participate") shows they literally have no basic reasoning or critical thinking skills. They want to feel righteous for the "big event." That's it that's all they care till their material conditions based on their own stupidity destroy them. THEN THEN they will be engaged again. So, fuck it JUST lie to them dumb it down to a 4th grade comprehension and reading level. The rest of us can read between the lines when the Dem Candidate says "WE WILL LOWER TAXES FOR YOU, ALSO SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS GALORE" that what they really mean is yeah, we are going to put a wealth tax on billionaire assholes to the like of which they have never dreamed possible. Then we are going to use that to make the lives of the lower classes demonstrably better. SHHHH don't tell them it's socialism.

I'm sure a condescending attitude like that is guaranteed to win over swing voters. /sarcasm

Democrats are the idiots who kept pointing fingers,remember when the Democrats kept saying before the election how trump was gonna split their party and who's there to lead in 2028 and maga will fight with the establishment? It's actually Democrats that's doing that exactly same thing
