It can still be prevented, but y\u2019all have got to wake up. And yeah, Democrats are largely uninspiring and terrible fighters. But they\u2019re all that stands between us and them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShow me where Dems are standing between us and them, Joy,\u201d @Its_Miss_Riss responded. \u201cShow me where they\u2019ve stopped the GOP states from passing literally 100s of bills shattering trans and gay rights, women\u2019s rights, voting rights, election laws, \u2026 Biden literally called the GOP good people TODAY.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reid responded with a second thread, arguing that Democrats were losing in local elections \u2014 not because their candidates were weak or their policies were unpopular, but because their base wasn\u2019t turning out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats are in super minorities in these state legislatures where this stuff is passing precisely because their younger, multiracial base largely sits out midterm and state elections while Republicans, who are overwhelmingly white, rural and far right Christian vote every time,\u201d she complained.<\/p>\n<p>She then went on to argue that Republicans were willing to play the long game when it came to politics, while Democrats tended to give up if they did not achieve and immediate win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans vote like al-Qaida fights: with a patient, long-term goal of seizing power and forcing the libertine culture to heel under the boot; no matter how many elections it takes.
