Why do Americans hate democratic governance so much??
Like this isn't anywhere near true for Republicans.
Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and Bush jr all got more votes in their reelection bids then they did initially.
Even Trump came back and ultimately massively improved on his numbers from 2016.
Why does the power of governance seemingly HARM the ability of most democrats to win elections??
Clinton benefitted from the end of the cold war casting a glow on his dogshit administration, and the Republicans having no one to run against him. They tried to make Bob Dole president ffs.
After Clinton though the Democrats turned utterly cowardly and betrayed the voters at every turn. First they gave up and let Bush steal the election, then after 8 years of the Republicans running buck wild, they promised to undo all the excess of Bush only to double down on it. No codification of RvW, no universal healthcare, no executives punished, etc etc etc. Then they ran crooked primaries to shove the most unpopular candidate in history onto the menu, only to lose to the gameshow host they themselves promoted, spent four years enabling him while crying about how he's literally Hitler, and then did the same crooked primary shit to give everyone Joe "Nothing Will Fundamentally Change" Biden. Four more years of business as usual where not only did they not fix anything they said they would, but also eliminated the biggest increase in social services since The Great Society, only to look like a bunch of clueless morons when this cost them the election.
People are fed up with the Democrats because they promise little and deliver even less, and seem constitutionally incapable of using power when they have it. At least the Republicans are getting what their candidates promised then, as awful as it is. With Democrats all you get is disappointment and emails begging for money to "fight for" stuff they have no intention of ever delivering on.

>>2196379truuu!!! the majority of people would be considered "socialist" because everyone wants quality of life to improve for the average person, unless you're a demon.
>>2196334 He's a pretty chill guy. JFK was pretty lefty and popular wasn't he? I think we're missing democrat leadership because the old moderate elites never retire
>>2196334>>2196339Bill Clinton's administration was literally a complete fluke. The Democrats had intended to sacrifice him because Bush looked almost unstoppable after the Gulf War. He owes more to Ross Perot than to any of the "Third Way" hacks.
>>2196379You Redditors are absolutely fucking tiring. Russia was effectively run by the USA back in the 1990s being plundered for everything that wasn't nailed down. In fact, the real psyop was when the USA helped Yeltsin steal the 1996 Presidential election.
