Other than Nixon it was a much more gradual change. Even in the 90s you still had deep red states voting for Democrats every now and then, look at all the states Bill Clinton won.

It's only in the 21st century where the realignment finally settled and you can really see where the lines were drawn.

    I remember being told my vote "wasn't needed" back in 2016 when you liberals lost to Trump the first time. You're an arrogant bunch who never learn from your mistakes because you'd rather blame leftists and play divide and conquer games. Which ironically makes you sound more like maga than leftists do.

    Btw I did vote for Clinton (and Biden and Harris). But plenty of people aren't going to forget the way you liberals shit talk them and won't be as forgiving.

    Liberals need every ounce of support they can get. It's crazy to me that despite the last ten years you'd still be dumb enough to tell people off and claim you don't need a coalition when you very, very obviously do.

    Maybe try learning from actual leaders like Talarico who are able to appeal to all anti-fascists instead of being intentionally divisive.

    Y'all up in Canada were more than ready to turn the fascists loose on your Indian immigrants. You just didn't like it when Trump turned the fascism around on you. Trying to frame it as a candidate issue is just laughable and dishonest and we all know it.

    It absolutely wasn't the same in the 90s, it was no where near was easy to develop and publish games back then. Now someone can cook up a shit indie game with prebuilt assets in a month. Back then you needed a physical publisher. There were trash games but there weren't thousands of them getting released every month.

    Also my steam recs are full of shovelware games. But Steam's never had a good recommendation engine so that doesn't surprise me.

    I'm not assuming we'll win but I also don't believe that fearmongering works well on Dem voters. I saw a study a while back that showed that Dem and independent voters respond much more strongly to positive messaging than negative messaging. So I really don't buy that scaring and stressing people out works.
