It’s become clear to me that Democrats are, almost by default, at a disadvantage when it comes to political races these days. And here’s why:
When asked about “their” candidate, Democrats will say “I like [candidate name], but I don’t like their stance on [X issue]. So, I don’t know.”
Republicans will say “100% behind them”. Every time. Without equivocation. No matter the (sometimes blatant) flaws in their candidate.
That fracture is why Republicans win. It’s why Ralph Nader and Jill Stein can throw wrenches in elections that Democrats are supposed to, based on the feeling of the country, win. (Looking at you, 2000 election)
Imagine if the Democrats were “all-in” with their candidates like Republicans are.
