Rather than labeling the post divisive?

For example, here's a point I see in your post that merits discussion: As to your point about no one else supporting the middle class and the poor, you're correct. But does that mean that the middle class and poor should quietly and gratefully accept tax structures and health care plans that favor people with means, just because they are better than what the Reublicans would create?

Shouldn't we be examining why so many people voted against what we understood to be their interests (union members and white women, for example), so that we can do a better job of acknowledging and addressing those needs in 2018?
