I don’t see them arguing to remove all doners and thus win without them?
Less donors means less chance of winning. Democrats just lost while spending the most. So take those odds of winning and reduce them.
This is still feeling like a “more doners is more better” argument which they rejected with a “not this time” reply so no questions were avoided.
Maybe you should stop bringing your feelings into it and look at it objectively. Citizens united was passed for a reason. It was part of a strategy to buy politicians. How do we win elections to change things without donation?
No wonder you were so quick to level accusations of strawmanning. It was a confession, it’s always a confession.
It’s always a confession? I’ve never spoken to you before. This seems like an emotional knee jerk response.
“every accusation a confession” is a common refrain to describe conservative behavior
Point 1: You accuse people of avoiding questions (they didn’t), it’s because you avoid questions. The question you avoided
I don’t see them arguing to remove all doners and thus win without them?
The question you asked of them was how to win without donors. Not less donors.
You asked them to answer for winning without donors. Now you’re talking about fewer donors.
Would you like me to extend to you the courtesy you denied me when accusing me of building a strawman. That “without” is an extention of “fewer” the same way “most” is an extention of “more”. But that would take admitting they did, in fact, answer your question. Would you like to admit that? If so I’m good, that was all I wanted to highlight to you in the first place.
Point 2: you accuse people of building strawmen, I didn’t, it’s because you build strawmen. See above.
Regarding the pivot from “money” to “donors”: did democrats have less donors this election? I don’t know why you refuse to acknowledge the counter example, look at it objectively.
Ignore people all you want but they, and reality, are clearly telling you that optimising for donations/money doesn’t work.
politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. - Oscar Ameringer
Democrats are too focused on the latter, because reasons explained to you, and thus lost due to the former.
