Reply to comment by DerekPDX in As N.H. voters head to polls next month, gerrymandered state Senate is on the ballot by Final_Act6703

Republicans are a centralized monolith run from the top down which engages in perfect political strategy. Their policies benefit the top, and are wildly unpopular, so they funded down ballot races to change the political rules.

Democrats are more grass roots and do not play politics the same way. They are resigned to winning elections with popular policies.

Billionaires pay strategists and think tanks to come up with lists of phrases and talking points. Fox News, Breitbart, WSJ, talk radio, and politicians repeat the talking points. Republican voters hear this and repeat the lists too. That is how it has worked my entire life.

And this stuff doesn’t exist in the Democrat Party? They’re just a grassroots organization that has success because their policies are popular? They don’t have any media conglomerates regurgitating their propaganda?

Turns out people like higher wages, healthcare, and access to education. Not much of a conspiracy there.

What are you smoking? Democrats are the most diabolical politicians of them all. See Harry Reid using the nuclear option, Nancy Pelosi “deeming” Obamacare into law, the continual harassment of the previous president the entire term and since he left, what they did to Kavanaugh, the list is endless…!

Sorry, passing legislation which helped tens of millions of Americans gain access to healthcare is the opposite of “diabolical”. Reducing pain, suffering, and death of Americans is the result of improved access to healthcare.

Donald Trump is credibly accused of committing many felony crimes. No American is above the law.

Kavanaugh was credibly accused of sexually assaulting multiple women. Investigating a SCOTUS nominee for credible rape accusations is just.

You are living in an upside down reality.
