(1,068 posts)Its time to find out why democrats & independents DID or skipped the race.
There are many reasons and some of them aren't allowed to be discussed here. Ignoring those reasons will simply get another loss. And simply saying :"NO" wont either. A good example is the speech a week ago; Democrats were lockstep to not applaud for ANYTHING; even a kid who survived cancer. THAT will get you more losses.& it was a terrible look.
While I didnt agree with him at the time, my brother said a year ago "I think the only way to defeat these idiots is for trump to win and do what he promised to do. THEN everyone will see how it affects THEM and it may turn things around"
Since this election I've seen so many people with the "Well, it doesnt affect ME" attitude so I'm thinking he may be right. Because eventually it WILL affect "them". We'll never change the MAGA minds but they aren't the ones who win elections
