If we lose on Tuesday

It is because we failed to make voters understand it was never about Trump
• That it was about racism and sexism.
• That diversity is America’s strength - not a weakness.
• That our broken immigration system is because of Republican racism blocking multiple solutions over two decades.
• That the reason white men, without college degrees, are challenged is not because blacks and Hispanics are taking their jobs, it is because the economy is changing, and jobs are changing requiring vocational education and transition unemployment benefits - blocked by Republican opposition to government education programs.
• That Republican’s oppose vocational and other education, expanded unemployment benefits and increases in minimum wage initiatives is because their oligarch donors want low wage rates.
• That Reaganomics crushes our economy.
• That there is a Biden boom with the largest growth in wages and GDP in the history of our country. We are better off than we were 4 years ago and it is getting better.
• That inflation in the US started before Biden took office and was caused by a combination of Covid supply chain issues and Trump/Republican economic policies, and Biden has reduced the inflation rate to historical norms.
• That the Reagan/Republican doctrine that government is the problem not the solution to our problems is wrong and harmful to we the people who created this government.
• That over 600,000 people died unnecessarily because of the malfeasance of office of Trump and his complicit Republicans.
• That Democracy is a good form of government and the right to vote, and our Democratic government, is being destroyed by Republicans.
• That while no one is in favor of abortion, abortion is a right and necessary in treating complications in pregnancies.
• That military assault weapon protection only benefits seditious traitors who need these weapons to be able to overthrow our Democratically elected, majority government.
• That giving Ukraine the tools to defend themselves is defending America.
• That religion is a right and that our laws are defined by secular principles that may or may not have a basis in religious principles and that’s OK.
• That welfare is not only multiple government programs, but also a responsibility of our government as stated in the pre-amble of our Constitution.
• That the Republican Party is evil and not for the people, and
• That the Democratic Party is good and is for the people.
VOTE, CONTRIBUTE, SUPPORT OUR DEMOCRATIC CAUSE.

We aren't going to lose, and why has been posted here approximately a gazillion times, give or take a billion.

The final score will be something like 72 to 6, which I've explained in other posts.

Trump voters will not be protected from trump.

Harris voters know what trump will bring and may be able to at least partially protect themselves.

In any event, trump will not be president for long. The Heritage Foundation will shoehorn him out. He's too incompetent.

No. As far as this campaign goes, there have been more than enough opportunities over time for the other side to take in and engage with the sensible information that was provided, in multiple ways by many people, and then use their own brain. Some people learn and change their mind. Some people learn but don't change their mind. Some don't learn period. That is not a failure on my part, our part, or of the Kamala campaign, etc.

As far as issues beyond this current campaign, it's fairly impossible to reverse decades of indoctrination in two months, in my opinion.

Un-rec.
