This is why we lose

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Johnny votes Democrat when he votes at all. But he doesn’t follow or care about day to day political news. He just hears his Democratic friends loudly whining all year about how the Democrats have supposedly done “nothing” so he figures that if his Democratic friends are down on the Democrats, he shouldn’t even bother to vote this time. This is how we lose.

Fred votes Republican when he votes at all. But he doesn’t follow or care about day to day political news. He just hears his Republican friends loudly amplifying the Republican party’s messaging, so he figures that since his Republican friends are happy with the Republicans, he should probably make the effort to vote. This is how they win.
