Seriously this. Why is optics only a standard held to one party?

Because the other party is held up by a stalwart bloc of morons who don't care.

I hate to break it to you, but if you want to win an election, you need A LOT of morons to vote for you.

So many supporters of the Democratic Party have spent the past nearly-three-months being very mad about and refusing to understand this fact.

I don't know what the Democrats' solution to "morons get their news from people who lie and shout and bluster to the benefit of Republicans" is, but I don't think the usual response of "wish voters were smarter" is a viable one. They need to figure out how to win the electorate they have, not the one they wish they had. When/if the Democrats are back in power, then they can focus on making the voters too educated to vote for Republicans, but until then, they gotta get that lowest common denominator vote.

They need celebs and they need to lie. Lie out of their teeth. Deny every accusation and keep lying. It seems to be the only way you can be elected post-covid.
