Republican lose elections because there is so much fraud in the system. And the Republicans are the ones committing the fraud. That’s why they lose. Or something like that.
And I suppose the corollary is that Democrats win, because they have less fraud on their side. Or something like that.
The primary reason is because so many of our candidates are professional politicians too. After multiple reelections and maybe 10 years in office they become almost indistinguishable from Rats in their performance. This is because they have the same goals - continuing in office!
We can’t let the public off the hook! An electoral majority of us want a Santa Claus in office! The public wants its snout in the trough. It matters little who provides - Rat or GOP as long as they get their fair chance to slurp. The mistakes the Rats make is they bias the slurping toward favored groups and insult the taxpayer providing it.
Try telling people that all this socialism is bad and damaging to the country even when they get their turn at the trough. Do that and you get to watch their eyes glaze over and you know they’re mentally saying - “There he goes again!”. You see it here on FR!
I think you have it backwards. The democrats steal enough votes to win, no more than that.
