If American voters are stupid, it is because capitalism requires them to be stupid and works hard to make them stupid

The Dems don't want to win. Much better to lose, raise funds, win occasionally, raise funds, lose, raise funds...

If you keep winning you have to actually do things

Not to mention if you're a minority party, you get those sweet sweet retweets every time Republicans decide being trans is illegal or that interracial marriage shouldn't exist.

Much easier to just say like "ONCE WE'RE IN POWER DIGNITY COMES BACK" or some shit while you collect those insurance company checks.
