The problem is believing in the duopoly. Real change dies insides the D & R parties.

Indeed

The actual problem is that democrats and republicans are both owned by the same corporations. That's why nothing ever changes no matter which party is in power. It's way past time to stop voting for any of them. Our duopoly is the problem, not a solution.

How does one frame a positive, attractive message about perfidious betrayal and skinflinted austerity? Dems have a real problem here....

In rural VA, there’s 0 messaging & 0 economic delivery (but decent progress on voting rights/social issues). That’s why I can’t really blame my community for going 70% Youngkin even tho we will likely lose progress made. Messaging/delivery in south & Appalachia R CRITICAL.

There really isn't a Democratic Party as such. It's a loose coalition of funding groups without any real membership as such. Voters need to jettison these useless façades

the problem is corruption.

Or rather no accurate representation. The Princeton 2004 study that claimed US is an oligarchy showed that policy only shifts if the upper 10% majority want that policy. So, to the ruling class of the country it's not a bug but a feature.

I listened to Spanish-language radio and heard many ads for Dem Governor. It is unbelievable how tone deaf he was, trying to ride in Biden’s coattails as Biden wages war in Latin America & deports refugees.

That is the problem. In my states of Virginia. Mark Herring should have easily won re-election for AG. He was very popular 2 term AG, but the Pres. and Senate Dems have made hurt dems nation wide, because they haven’t delivered.
