Why is that my problem? Shouldn’t the Democratic Party be doing that already? Isn’t that why they’re always begging for money? Wasn’t that what the billion dollars they wasted fighting Trump was for?
Why even have a political party if it’s up to individuals to do this?
Because that’s how the concept of democracy works. It’s not like a fucking Doordash order you can make. “Hello I’d like one democracy please”. If you’re a citizen, it’s your problem. You want your people or your policies to win, then you have to convince people to vote for them.
It’s not a vending machine or a listing on Amazon. It’s not a company that exists to provide you a service. If it has the money and the volunteers and the messaging, it convinces people and it wins. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

And to do that you pool your resources, right? In some kind of poltical “party” that employs experts to have the greatest effect, right?
And if that political party can’t win enough elections to gain power, is it doing its job or just wasting my time and money?
