Is it just me or did the Democrats stop using "weird"?
Is it just me or did the Democrats stop using "weird"?
Why would they stop? That's been the most effective attack they've had in a long time! Especially because it's true, and I think the Republicans know it on some level.
You're viewing a single thread.
How was it “effective?” While it did make some Cons mad, name calling isn’t a viable strategy to winning, and it really just makes Libs look like that’s the best strategy they have
It was effective because Republicans get a lot of mileage out of pretending to be the "everyman" - and since they can't claim it on economic grounds, they claim it based on pure vibes. But really anyone who's at all involved in Republican politics is actually a freak far beyond either your average republican voter, or even a center to left political freak. Their policies are incredibly unpopular to the point where if you even tell a conservative voter what the policies are, they think they're so outlandish that you're literally lying to make your opponents sound insane. It made cons mad because it was working. Then the Clinton people broke down the door and put a stop to it
They were up in the polls and now they are dead tied. Was stopping weird the only thing to do that? No probably not but their swing to the opposite of just trying to convince people they are themselves Republicans doesn't seem to be working effectively.
Except at losing
And have they checked Twitter? None of the republicans are buying their “well shucks y’all, we’re folksy conservatives too!” garbage.
There's like 10 guys in the country who want to vote Republican but dislike Trump enough not to vote for him. These are the 10 guys the final months of the election are spent trying to win.
Every other Republican wants the name brand uncut trump power. Why go for Kamala when you can just have trump.
Of course Kamala could still and could have spent her time trying to convince those left of her to vote by highlighting how different she is from Trump and Biden. Unfortunately she doesn't actually have many notable policy differences I suppose.
They don't have policy. They don't have a charismatic figure. They don't have a cool slogan. The only things they have are name calling and promising to be more ghoulish than the opposition; I can't imagine the electorate is more likely to be swooned by the current Dick Cheney strategy than the previous name calling strategy.You're right on every count but i preferred it to their current right-wing pandering. This shit feels like stalking an ex on Facebook and watching them get radicalized by their new blue-line beau
