7. And that success becomes a liability for Democrats
Mon Mar 30, 2026, 12:21 PM

when voters feel they no longer want a system of government that is 80% efficient and works for everybody. All they see on Fox News and the corporate media is that we need to reallocate 80% of our resources to fixing the 20% that's less efficient. And to do that, they need to vote for republicans.

Plus, voters don't have very good long term memory. So when republicans turn our system of government into only 20% efficient at enriching republican politicians and 80% inefficient for everyone else, yes, the public does return to voting in Democrats to clean up the mess left by republican corruption. But as soon as someone like Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama or Joe Biden come along to fix that mess to make government 80% efficient for everyone again, the cycle repeats.


If someone can figure out how to get voters to be happy with a system that mostly works for them and to ignore media hype suggesting corrupt republicans are the answer, that would be a game changer!
