It used to be that America was the shining beacon of democracy and freedom in the world. We used to be a country of high ideals and noble causes . We are now a country of petty grievances. We are about me first. We are self absorbed. We ignore the real issues like high drug prices, corporate price gouging, infrastructure, poverty and out of control gun violence. We are going to let both Israel and Ukraine down. What message does that send around the world.
We are a country run by ill willed and immature children. They can’t focus on solving any real problem that doesn’t have a quick fix. They want to destroy what they don’t understand. They can’t work with others. They don’t honor their commitments. My way or I’m not playing. We elect people based on messaging instead of substance/competency. We have a large population of lemmings who refuse to make sense of the nonsense spewed at them.
I’m beginning to believe we no longer deserve the freedom we have enjoyed from our democracy. Apparently our elected officials don’t either or are too spineless to stand up for it.
We are only a year away...Republicans saying out loud dictatorship is okay. Democrats, no real counter, just the sound of crickets. They whine. Where is Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries out there with the counter message?
Biden/Harris are not a winning ticket. We can’t rely on crossover republicans to save our democracy this time. The far left have to realize that they will have to compromise or totally become irrelevant under a dictatorship. This is a fight for freedom that will affect everyone, we need to act like it.
I dunno. I think Americans will just shut down if the Democrats start caterwauling about democracy right now. They won't be motivated by it, just as the danger of Covid stopped motivating people to take precautions against catching it. They tune it out with an "eh that's what they always say" attitude and maybe sit out the election while complaining about inflation. Democracy is an abstraction that doesn't motivate folks who tend to think that their lives won't be much different than they are now because they aren't in the vulnerable class of people.
This isn't like the abortion related issue happening in Texas which will reverberate throughout the election...that's something intensely personal that will motivate people (women) to stay engaged.
Then you explain in the simplest of terms using analogies they can relate to just like you would to your children. It’s too important to just say it’s over their heads.
I know but it’s just suggestion because we have such a large segment of the population that are undereducated or need things that relate to their daily lives

I don't mean to imply it's over their heads. It's just that they'll tune it out as just political noise. They don't feel any danger to themselves.
