their staffers frequently do... the sacrificial lambs of their party.

when lacking staffers, they call on organized activists groups

the other side of democratic investments in minority communities...

the community organizations are full frontal lobbyists

that dismantle local voting blocks and take over that community

hence, there's hardly a minority one can think of that isn't considered 'democrat'

with the focus on the national fight, then it becomes merely about voting the non democrats out (put in perspective that third parties really only do well in white majority areas as well), so policy doesn't matter...

but it becomes quite effective as it really is designed to incite culture wars and divide to which conservatives keep falling into the same trap.. because in all truth, it is a game that has long been played by the swamp on the right as well. Hence, so many were (and are) Anti-Trump. Republicans as much as Dems are looking to 2024. . . believing business will go back as usual post-Trump. And truthfully, it probably will. . . of course, short term, we need republicans that even begrudgingly will support the POTUS.

tribalism isn't all bad, either, tho.

you got a smaller group to connect with?

a circle, a network to build on?

surely, some people in this crowd..

used to be the difference between republicans and democrats were that republicans built up while democrats trickled down..

invest your time in local politics, if you can... even just school elections.

or look at the waves of advocates, activists and talking heads created in the Trump era as inspiration.. and look to all the suckers looking for something to spend their scraps on.

What is it you want?
