[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would they?  None of those things hurt them this election, and they all probably helped.  What hurt them was 2020 denialism and abortion.[/quote]

Of course it hurt them.  Instead of attracting voters by representing their views on protecting reproductive rights and protecting democracy from coup attempts, they wasted their time carrying on about these issues of little consequence to voters.  Are you not paying attention to where the votes materialized this cycle?[/quote]

If you think the outcome was a backlash against anti-trans etc stuff then you are misreading the results.  The two main issues Republicans got backlash against were abortion and 2020 election denialism.  The Dems need to learn from this as well.  Stop giving the social issues oxygen and learn to respond in a way that attracts the middle.[/quote]

I don't think the voters gave a rat's ass about the trans stuff and all that time and energy and money  invested by republicans on that issue cost them. they could hav  used that time and energy and money to actually try to attract some votes.[/quote]

Right, because there were more important issues.  Those more important issues prevented them from making inroads with moderates.  Take those more important issues away and the situation is different.  The anti-trans, anti etc issues did not hurt them.  Election denialism and abortion did.  If Republicans can neutralize the election denialism, by not nominating the orange fool, the scenario is different.  This election was not a repudiation of Republicans social positions and it is a mistake to think it was.[/quote]

The abortion issue absolutely killed Rs in this election.  And it is not going to magically go away.  If you dont change your tune and offer pro choice candidates that have a pro choice record, you are giving up massive numbers of votes.

And for what?  No one even really believes this hard core anti-abortion candidates really care that much.....they just say that because they think it gets votes.  And they are largely wrong.  So fix it ..  Find some pro choice republican candidates and fast.[/quote]
