    this isn’t working anymore. people are getting numb to the “boogeyman” technique

    dems have to offer something people want, otherwise the right is going to take over

    and i think it’s too late by now

      a boogeyman is something fake used to scare people into doing what you want. trump is a real threat. the country got noticeably, objectively worse, our supreme court is now corrupt for decades to come, he defanged the epa and if he gets in again, goodby climate work, hello actually dictator. he’s directly said he will be one “for a day” lol. it’s not a boogeyman if the danger is real.

      Boogymen aren’t real. This is not that. And the Left never had that. Right wing terrorism boogymen fund wars.

        whatever you wanna call it, it’s not going to work this year. look at the polls. hispanics & blacks are voting for Trump in larger numbers. 5/6 battleground states that Biden won last time he is losing
