If there is a valid point being made here, it's that long-term outcome-dependent strategy is more effective than short-term protestation or performative moralizing. And make no mistake, the right wing has plenty of people with long-term visions who know how to manipulate their voter base.

The left needs to start planning beyond the next election, or reacting to the latest atrocity, and develop a vision for what the country could be, what it should be.

"But my feels!!! Muh principles!!!"

The right is a horde of inbred morons led by Machiavellian operatives paid by billionaire oligarchs.

The left is a bunch of interns led by idealistic idiots and academic windbags.

Wonder which side will win long term...

President Mountain Dew Camacho actually acknowledged everything was fucked and hired the smartest person in the world to fix the situation. He actually would make a better president than any Republican.

This sounds a lot like policing women's bodies. If they decide they're done, then we should respect that. Not like its an easy choice

No bodies were policed in the making of this meme.

Just because a kid grows up in a conservative house, that doesn't necessarily mean they grow up to be conservative. Most people do take the political beliefs of their parents into adulthood, but they're not all just mindless clones of their parents and do, in fact, live distinct lives with minds that can be changed

That heavily relies on education though. We tend to tell ourselves that hard times make you more lucid and you eventually get where you need, but not really, it's education. And guess what...
