In reply to the discussion: Would you ever forgive anyone that voted for Trump? Under any circumstances? [View all]Blue-Gill1972
(9 posts)5. Rebooting Democratic Strategies
We as Democrats have the Constitutional obligation like any other American to uphold civil rights. In order to live up to our promises, our party must also reach Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, and the like by winning their confidence.
Using inclusive language which does not sound like we are accusing people of being bigoted or narrow minded is the key. The Democrats have been a pillar of protecting diversity and inclusion. However, many conservatives felt turned of or rejected by allegations of racism and discrimination. These are some of the reasons they turned to Trump and his allies.
Getting rid of such labels and brands will help conservatives to feel like their voice is accepted. Democrats must also change their tune from their past and present agendas. Researching and understanding the needs of American people is crucial. Addressing common concerns such as economic prosperity, rebuilding communities, strong national security, and the like will recruit more conservatives that Trump has alienated. Including conservative views will help appeal to those who are angry at the Trump administration as well.

OP
A young voter, maybe, if they wise up. Truthfully, if someone realizes and corrects their error

"under ANY circumstances .." - - constitutes a very, very large statement, and considerable territory

It's not always that "Trump is so great." A lot of them were taught from birth that liberals and Democrats are evil.

Trump is far beyond the pale of someone who could be considered a good leader for a country

Well, in the region I live in, at least 80% of my friends, associates, and extended family voted for him.
