What we should be saying is "Democrats did not vote for this, but Republicans did"....
We need to lay this right at the feet of those that wants to destroy our country and those that support them.
which is the Republican party.... Make them own what Trump is doing and make them feel the heat to our disapproval to what he is doing. Democrats knew what he was capable of doing to our country... They warned us. But now that we are out of power, this all belongs to Republicans. So, when you hear someone say, "We didn't vote for this", Remind them who did vote for this...

(1,492 posts)I think we need to peel more moderate Republicans away from the MAGA Trump movement. We need to hold hard-core MAGA voters accountable but if we are going to win the next rounds of elections we need to get more independents and moderates. My step father is a Republican. He is not a bad guy but he is just misguided. If we can get voters like him to vote for us, or at least not vote against us, we will have a much better chance of regaining the Congress and the White House. And I am pretty much a Progressive and want more progressive Dems like AOC in office, but I would take a centrist Dem in office rather than some MAGA Republican any day of the week.
