In reply to the discussion: I will stand up for Palestinian human rights and firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. They are the same job [View all]Wonder Why
(7,379 posts)and that's one of the two main reasons IMHO we lose our advantage. So many people voted for Trump over Harris because they and we couldn't overcome the differences we have. We fail to address the issues of the American people in trying to address the issues of different groups.
The other main reason is that we don't make it clear to all groups what we will do for them on what Americans vote for. They are interested in Security (their country), Safety (themselves and their families), the Economy (their future), their health (medical care) and Education.
I see your comment as actually wanting those five things so I don't consider you a one-issue person. You want what most Americans want.
On the other hand, I see the criticisms as typical of our biggest problem - we criticize each other instead of noticing how we all want the same things. We call ourselves inclusive. The repugs are inclusive - "If you hate, we include you". We don't say "If you support Security, Safety, a good Economy, Health Care and Education, we support you". Instead we say, "If you don't support our complete list of very specific things, you must be one of them so go with the other side." At least that's what it has appeared to me to be the case in my nearly 80 years.
