21. And Democratic politicians and voters
Sat Aug 23, 2025, 09:43 PM
Aug 2025

must realize that there are various groups supporting the Republicans and different tactics will work for different groups. What works on White Christian Nationalists in Oklahoma may be different from what works on techbro libertarians in Silicon Valley. And the most that we can expect against the Republican voters may be to get them to stay home on election day. And what works on those groups may be different from what engages and educates the nonvoting one third.

And that we should all support all of these tactics.
