    Yeah, he won through good old misinformation, propaganda, and blatant lies because his opposition can’t keep the successful message of hope and change going to engage apathetic voters like Obama did and would instead rather pal around with Liz Cheney and Netanyahu to try and peel away MAGA voters.

    The thing is, people on the left tend to actually care about ethics, so if Democrats started doing the dirty shit that Republicans do, they would get voted out of office and held accountable.

    It is an insurmountable hurdle. As much as I want to win, I don’t want the type of person that is willing to do the shit that Republicans do, in order to do so. I would no longer consider it a win then.

      Al Franken comes to mind. Made some inappropriate jokes, posed for a rude picture. Boom, career over.
