I know there isn't any visible platform or coherent ideology, but I was hoping there would be something more than 'not trump.' like where are the donations even going? They couldn't even pretend to have talking points.

Like how is this a strategy? It feels like previous presidents had platforms on their websites, right? I know they're banking on 'not trump' but come on. I think it's just that psychic damage is hitting me now.

The democrats made fun of Trump for not having a real platform and now they're just stealing his homework

Sounds like a question on based Family Feud.

That's because no one does that shit anymore. They don't care. There's 0 fucking accountability. It's a fucking team sport now. 😕

I'm not from the US but the same shit is happening here in Canada.

Canada is just a vassal state of the Empire.

Imagine that in Red Greens voice

It's amazing to me that the NDP hasn't been able to pick up a single fucking percentage point of support from the cratering of Liberal support. Just astounding.

The NDP have been completely defanged. Theyre just the Liberal Party but with orange lawn signs now.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Why vote for Diet Liberal when you can have the real thing?

[–] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Feels like even the NDP have lost their way.

We seem to jump back and forth between Libs and Cons at the federal level.

NDP is just a pet of the liberal party with same policies as liberals. They also don't give flying fuck about the have-not canadians.

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I don't know if it's just election year stuff, but I've noticed a lot more people pushing back against the "I'm not trump and that's it" thing libs do.

Could just be chuds feeling emboldened by trump doing so "well" against Biden.

Either way, I doubt the right takeaway will be reached
