What the CA election shows us about Democrats
Posted on 9/15/21 at 7:53 am
Posted on 9/15/21 at 7:53 am
I've said this for a while now, and yesterday's election proves this again.
They vote for their candidate.
Sure, they might not like the Democrat candidate. Sure, they might not have "voter enthusiasm". Sure, it might be "their guy". Sure, the candidate might have completely trashed "their guy" in an earlier vote.
But ultimately, they suck it up, they vote for the guy with the D by his name (or in this case, they vote to save the guy with the D by his name) and they move on.
No purity tests. No "oh but he's a cuck". They understand that having your team in charge - no matter if you like all the players on your team - is 100 percent better than having the other team in charge.
And so that's why Blue States aren't currently turning Red.
Meanwhile, Republicans continue to lose seats they should win, because too many of them get butt hurt and stay home and don't vote.
I don't know what is so hard to understand. The worst Republican is better than the best Democrat.

The RINOs are nothing but frauds that are Democrats with no gonads.

Correct. When it comes down to it on an important vote even the cucks will vote the correct way
Except that bitch mccain

Have you ever thought that maybe they don't? Since it's now evident that no one is going to double check the election integrity, maybe rampant cheating has been going on in democratic strongholds for a while?

Democrats vote for Democrats because when they get in office, more often than not, Democrats push the country in a liberal direction
Meanwhile Republicans get elected and spend 2-4 years sitting on their hands because "there's an important election coming up so we don't want to waste too much political capital"
Republican candidates continue to lose seats because the GOP is designed to campaign from a "we have to win these seats back and stop them!" position. Even if they have full, complete control of everything, the GOP would find a way to not do (or undo) a damn thing

This is why the DEMS dominate. They can fight it out during the primary but once it is settled they are all in for the nominee. The republican voters pout and criticize the other candidate and refuse to vote because they disagree with the candidate on 1 issue or he said something mean. DEMS realize it is about having the big picture, not 1 candidate and that they can control that "pro life Democrat" through committee assignments, etc. to get their agenda passed.

Exactly. I no longer firmly believe that OP's explanation tells the whole story.
I have a strong suspicion that Mail-In Balloting is a scheme to make it easy for Democrats to cheat.

Democrats have known this for decades and not that they see Conservatives are starting to wake up to it they are shifting the game. Major pushes for mail in voting to remain. open boarders and instant voting rights to all who come to the US.
Conservatives are always a day late and a dollar short. Liberals are playing 2000 D chess with this election saccharide and conservatives are playing with their dicks and beans. They are proving to be the deplorables in this country.

1) If it's a Democrat stronghold... there is no need to cheat.
2) I believe it's more likely that the Dems put party over person... than I believe in some massive conspiracy.

Then the cause is lost, if we can't find good enough actual Republicans to run.
I'll still vote for a RINO over a Dem 100 times out of 100.

The govern me harder daddy is the appropriate meme for dems. They LOVE big govt. Its truly amazing to me how a group of people in a “free nation” love to be told what to do and how to live. I will never understand why anyone in America cares how someone else chooses to live their life.

Are Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Toomey, etc. ultimately any different than a Democrat? That’s is the rub and an example of the issues faced by Republican voters.
Very, very few Democrats today ever act in a Republican manner, whereas the opposite does occur with Republicans that vote/act like a Democrat. The average Republican politician is way less committed to his team than the average Democrat.

Here is one problem I found with your theorem.
*All* Dems are purely that - Dems
*not all* GOPers are purely GOP
So if we were busy putting someone in office only due to the -R after their name, we’d be in the same position as we are now with far less integrity.
You never hear “Dem in name only” because they don’t exist. Only RINOs.

I watched Rogan's latest podcast. Some guy, Billy Corben, was his guest. He seems like a complete moonbat, and failed to see through his own hypocrisy. The reason I bring him up is I was able to glean his world view which helps me understand the left. His general idea was that there's a lack of empathy in the country.
The problem with democrats is they have too much empathy for the wrong people. It's misguided in its naievte' at best, and sinister in its imposition at worst.
The fundamental issue dividing this country is moral relativism. It creates a certain cognitive dissonance.
These people don't enjoy freedom. They don't. They enjoy taking freedom, carving it up, and doling it out to those they deem - worthy. They believe in purity tests and making others ascribe to their beliefs. It's very much a religious zeal.
They have definitely been brainwashed by the liberal elite into thinking that any problems that arise as a result of their failed ideology was because conservatives are master saboteurs. Not that their ideas are naive and dismissive of basic human nature and disregard positive reinforcement and motives.
TL;DR: We're dealing with eternal concrete thinking adolescents.

Democrats have a group, victim mentality and will vote away their sovereignty to elect predatory leaders to punish those who they perceive as their victimizors.
Republicans, Libertarians, Independents et al are individual sovereigns and will ultimately get mowed over if they cannot unite against the institutions that promote the victim mentality above noted.

I think you just answered your own question.
I'd rather a Republican that voted with Republicans 25% of the time, than a Democrat that voted with the Republicans 0% of the time, if those are my only two choices.
Of course I'd rather a Republican that voted with the Republicans 100% of the time, but if that's not an option, I have to choose the best remaining choice.
This is what too many Republican voters don't understand.
And just like Democrat voters fall in line to vote... Democrat politicians fall in line as well.

I always vote for the Republican even though more often than not it's the lesser of two evils. Voted for that POS Cassidy but the alternative was worse. But yeah alternative of conservatives stay home if their guy isn't on the ballot. That's how we ended up with an encode of JBE. All the Abraham supporters refused to vote for Rispone. Of course the midnight ballots from Orleans Parish didn't help either.

They vote strictly on party lines.
Republicans have so much infighting.
See Louisiana’s past two gubernatorial races.
