In reply to the discussion: Yes, I know this may seem juvenile, but [View all]SurfLiberal
(30 posts)20. This is a lost cause
The reason Republicans enforce this kind of thing is because they can. They have billionaires who can give marching orders and the apparatchiks in the Party salute and follow orders. Democrats don't have any such thing, and when we try come up with a talking point, there's going to be 1000 people who say, "My idea is better." Biden started calling Trump "The Former Guy," but Trump still has hundreds of names made up by liberals around the country. Nobody can agree on just one, because they think the one they came up with is better.
Not a criticism per se, but an observation on the nature of the left and why we're harder to organize on stuff like this.
