Biden wins and most of the talking heads talk about how he needs

[Proud liberal 80]

To reach Republicans and the trump voter. Yeah, that’s a winning strategy

Edit - why is that always the talking point when Democrats win, but when Republicans win it’s always elections have consequences

[gopiscrap]

1. fuck that the republicans need to crawl in a hole

[agingdem]

6. no one is listening...not anymore...

the talking heads hated Trump more than they hated "the libs"...now they can go back to hating "the libs"...and no we're not going back to playing nice...

[Claustrum]

2. Exactly, where were they in the last 4 years?

Our votes for Hillary didn't matter? Trump didn't have to reach out to us? What a load of BS.

[BusyBeingBest]

3. He needs to reach Repubs and trump voters

with his foot up their asses. Never again will I encourage outreach across the aisle, never again do I want to know what some redneck clown in a diner in Indiana thinks. They can all eat my shorts.

4. To any Republican, shall Dems be as cooperative as Mitch McConnell ?

Shall we try to play nice with COVID 19 in schools, hospitals ?

How shall we atone for the dead ?

Was blathering on about that on MSNBC and everyone else was just letting him. I had to turn it off. But I’m sure we will be treated to endless takes on how WWC voters are still angry and explainers on why they like Trump. They will totally ignore the elephant in the room as they have been since even before 2016, but especially since then.

7. That carcass is about to really stink...

Bet they will really screw up trying to deal with it as they do anything else.

[treestar]

8. Were they saying that

Four years ago when the winner was a minority popular vote president?

9. It is built into the ideological cake.

Liberals/Progressives govern by consent. People are considered to have equal dignity and the best ideas, supported by the evidence are what informs public policy. That is how we operate. It is our strength, but can be exploited by those who do not come to the table in good faith.

Conservatives govern by "right". Their ideology tells them that there is a natural order in which the "best", meaning Wealthy White Protestant Christian Men, are and should be in charge. Conservative ideology is a continuation of monarchical thinking, only substituting wealthy business people for the lineages of the past (Bourbons, Tudors, Hapsburgs, etc...). This is not hyperbole. They truly think that they rule by divine right, which is why their messaging is so infused with religious tones.

Whether the media is doing this because they buy into the narrative (even subconsciously) or because they are cynical pieces of shit; this ideology is what drives the different narratives.

10. Wait, I'm confused

Are the remaining Republicans required to do this too?
