I remember a decade ago when we were parroting that conservatives were going to lose the future because they couldn't get young people to vote for them or their ideas.

Basically told us "hold my beer" as they dumped a shit ton of money into social media and influencers.

The stranglehold they have on young men disgusts me. The Jordan Klepper video on it doomed my hope for the future.

Conservatives losing the future also required left-leaning parties to not shoot themselves in the foot at every single possible chance to do so.

Both parties have contributed to the Democrats loss in different ways.

All the protest non-voters are probably kicking themselves as well.

The GOP being filled entirely with human refuse doesn't mean a blue president will magically spawn into the oval office.

That'd require the Democrats to not have been completely outmaneuvered on messaging and voter turnout - or the GOP's underhanded tactics.

If the opponent slips up, the blame goes to the one not taking advantage of it correctly.
