Why did democrats lose so bad?

A retard "Why did democrats lose so bad?"

Hym "I told you that was going to happen."

A retard "Yeah but why though?"

Hym "I mean, I told you what to do to win and you did not-that."

A retard "Nah, it's not that."

Hym "YOU wouldn't know! You thought you'd win! You didn't know you would lose but somehow you magically know why you lost? I mean, I can tell you why you lost. Dumb. Bad. Delusional. Retarded. It's a combination of all of those."

late stage democracy

a liberal democracy in which the politicians and bureaucrats behave like chimpanzees on LSD. they throw shit at their peers, and eat food that they know they have stolen but will receive no consequences due to them being "StAtE OfFiCiAlS".

the congress of this democracy seemingly cannot function without pork barrel politics. the congress doubles as a retirement home and mental asylum, or sometimes a massive sex offender registry.

this democracy will last only until a war breaks out, and will go back to a normal democratic system but fade slowly into late stage democracy once more.

common late stage democracies include but aren't limited to; the united states, the united kingdom, canada, and hungary.

The meta-problem: There is no agreed-upon rule to distinguish science from non-science, and the very search for such a rule may be unscientific. Falsifiability (Popper) fails—string theory isn't easily falsifiable but is considered science. Astrology makes falsifiable claims but is pseudoscience. Methodological naturalism? It rules out theology but also historical sciences that reconstruct unique past events. The hard problem is that "science" is a family-resemblance concept, not a neat category. Any bright-line rule you propose either excludes legitimate sciences or lets in obvious pseudoscience, revealing that demarcation is a social and philosophical negotiation, not a logical one.
Example: Is evolutionary biology science? It reconstructs unique past events (unfalsifiable in a strict lab sense). Yet it's a core science. Is phrenology pseudoscience? It used measurement and data (the "scientific method" of its day). The hard problem: We know the difference intuitively, but can't define it without circular logic ("It's science because scientists do it"). The demarcation criteria are like trying to nail jelly to a wall—the harder you try, the messier it gets, and you're left wondering why you're nailing jelly in the first place.

The prediction problem. Unlike in physics, where you can isolate variables and predict an eclipse to the second, social sciences (economics, political science, sociology) deal with complex, reflexive systems. Humans react to predictions, changing the outcome (the "Lucas Critique"). The hard problem is: Can you have a real science of human society if its core subjects alter their behavior upon hearing your findings? True scientific laws are supposed to be invariant. Social "laws" are more like trends that expire once people know about them, making the field perpetually one step behind a moving target.
Example: An economist develops a perfect model predicting stock market crashes. Once published, investors see it and adjust their behavior to avoid the predicted conditions, thereby preventing the very crash the model forecasted. The model is now wrong. The hard problem: The act of studying the system changes it. This makes falsification—the bedrock of science—incredibly tricky. Social science thus often ends up explaining the past very well (postdiction) but failing at predicting the future, which is what we usually want from a science.
