I’m sure they only do that when they think they can use it to market themselves later. Given the number of complaints he seems to have received, they may just avoid the whole thing for fear of drawing more attention to all the ways they’re failing their base.
Conservative bullies believe they’ll almost always win in the end if they just keep at it and force their way through to their end goal. For most business & personal goals where they have significant control over most variables, this unfortunately tends to work out well for them. So they believe they can apply it to everything.
Social & societal issues are areas where they have significantly less direct control (unless you have control over most everything that society is exposed to from practically the day they’re born), which is why they rely upon lies and manipulation so much. The complexity of managing things you have less direct control over makes being successful at it much more unpredictable, however.
Since bullying their way through is their instinctive modus operandi, they’ll still try to do it with these issues no matter what feedback they get. So while it may feel satisfying to put them on the spot, they’re unlikely to take the feedback seriously - even from their own base.
It’s blatant arrogance that has been the hallmark of the MAGA world, and which ultimately will be their undoing. Unfortunately, we still have to sit through the process even though it’s so easy to see where it’s going. Kinda like watching a show with your kids that’s predictable AF, but that they’re loving because they think they’ve never seen anything like it before even though the basic storyline has been done a million times in their other shows.
Maybe when the right-wing media stop.
That is why I specified “less extreme,” but yeah, that’s fair.
Less extreme Leftists generally aren’t nearly as likely to be control freaks as the right (although there are always exceptions), so getting them (as a group) angry enough to fight takes much more effort than it does the right.

If they took any of them seriously, they were already confused.
No “Memory Station Alpha?” I am disappointed.
I’d be afraid of them coming in to make sure nobody could see it. Possibly ever.
I’d steal it (using a VPN, of course) because I’m secure in my masculinity. Those that would be deterred by that are - in Gov. Walz’s terminology - “weird.”
Gawd, how many under 30 (or even 40) even know of that routine?
a gram of brain power.
How much is that shit? You can snort it, right?
No need to be sorry - with a username like yours I’d be disappointed if you didn’t say it.
I’m sure that was the case well before that point.
I would expect beamforming to be used rather than needlessly wasteful omnidirectional.
