      They literally have no platform. They passed a resolution during the last convention in 2020 saying they would not publish a new platform.

      That’s when I realized they were no longer a political party, and were now a lifestyle brand that sponsors politicians. Which is a genius move. You can’t break political promises to your constituents if you don’t make any.

        And yet they scream “election fraud” when they don’t get elected like… uh, you can’t just be screaming “dems bad” for 4 years and offer little to no alternative but expect a majority of the votes. That’s not how it works

        It MAY have worked somehow in 2016 but MOST people learned. We ain’t that stupid

      Which is also why they use so much newspeak. A limited vocabulary serves to hinder nuanced discussion or critical thought.
