You have prominent democratic consultants like James Carville saying he would rather we loose the house to fascists than negotiate with the DSA. When voters hear that they stop believing it is a dire situation. If the candidates themselves believed the election was existential they would stop doing unpopular things. The call is coming from inside. Framing popularity as a purity test is simply wishing elections behaved differently.
I don’t really care… Vote anyway.
I adore the mask off yall. We should have all just been honest with each other this whole time.
If they were honest with themselves they would admit they don't even believe in democracy. It's impossible to hold such cynicism towards your neighbors whilst also thinking their opinions matter.
