if you won't understand why conservatives are conservative, you can't understand why you are a leftist.

can you really know what you're for if you don't understand what you're against? can you strike your foe true when you willingly wear a blindfold? to blindly thrust in the dark is to waste effort or worse, harm a comrade. you are only here in these circles to hang out and chill and feel superior to those dopes and hicks and florida men who voted """the cheeto""" into office. you are not here to put your shoulder to the wheel, and we can all tell. this is why Orange Man Bad is a meme to both sides. you are just as human as they are and their convictions hold no less power than yours. half of the country was not duped, they are not idiots, they just want something different than you. learn that.

it's not just about ignorance. it's about treatin people right. it's about being effective in affecting positive change. "know thyself, know thy enemy. a thousand battles, a thousand victories!"

The Democratic Party (and a bewildering amount of third parties/leftists) is so hyperfixated on just Winning Big that their power base on the local level gets eaten alive by republicans outside of the strongest of strongholds. Third parties, you'd think they'd focus on local politics more because that's where they can actually win elections and gain momentum but nah gottawinbig.

A lot of people seem to be operating under the assumption that you just gotta keep them out of the capitol and it'll be fine because their voter base is about to gray out, meanwhile they sweep school boards and city councils and make ties with prominent and trusted small business owners in the area, making very resilient strongholds. Also, filling roles that have a high degree of influence on people's daily lives in often uncontested races, no less.

I agree. There's been a devastating hyperfocus on the Presidency because it's become a kind of absurd shortcut to burnishing a political career. The press absolutely love reporting about politics like it's merely round-the-clock campaign season so local politics barely figure in the news. And also, I don't think the GOP are exactly wrong about liberals being elitist. There's too much social-climbing in Democratic politics and too little attention to governance... ~Chara
