Dems and their one horse races

Seems as if the Dems go all in on one candidate in these past elections. Seems as if the Reps always have a crowded field of candidates to choose when it's time to go vote. Dems always seem to have just one candidate to choose from no matter how good or bad that person might be.
Presidential race, 17 against two. GA6 race, one Dem and four or five Reps. Can the Dems not see this with all of the self-professed intellectuals in that party? Ever notice how we never hear of "the crowded Democratic field" concerning recent elections?

Admittedly, consolidating their constituents' support behind a single candidate is something the Democratic Party does much better than the Republicans.
It probably helps win elections, but I don't think that's healthy for a democratic republic.

That's my point, it ain't working. The last seven years is evidence of that.

That and the fact that for the conservatives, usually, if their horse doesn't make the final show they lose interest and walk away, or worse yet vote against the guy that beat out their guy even if it means voting against their party. Some thing else that Dems rarely if ever do.

They want to be like their socialist heros who only have one candidate during elections.

Results say it doesn't help win elections.

Ossof ran a close race in a district that typically sees the R annihilate the D.
You also can't assume these elections happen in a vacuum. The candidate's policies and platforms matter too, which affects results.

Yes you should have noticed the fact Ossoff did everything possible to hide the fact he was even a democrat.

Let me know when moral victories get you congressional power. Sad

Soros and about 3-4 other elitists pick their puppets. The people don't pick.

They try not to cannibalize themselves.

Which apparently consists of a majority of one. Since you have intellect higher than that of us fourth graders, you should have no problem figuring out the quote.
