Cannot call a pedophile a pedophile

Look at bought out Hackeem Jefferies. A line of lobbyists at his front door.

And when Bernie, who spoke the truth, began liberating the party, all the deep state billionaires donors who decide elections got behind bought out shill Hillary.

When Zohran gained grass root popularity, the party worked overtime to get him to lose.

This party sucks. [/quote]

If you think Bernie Sanders would have done any better against Trump than Hillary Clinton, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.[/quote]

Yep he would have easily won. No one is buying what HRC was selling.[/quote]

That was the first election my eldest voted in and I remember feeling bad that her first chance to cast her ballot was in an election where you had Republicans who were so upset about Trump that they said they were going to vote Democratic AND Democrats who were so upset because they felt Bernie had been cheated out of the nomination that they were going to vote Republican.

A lot of Trump’s appeal is that he portrays himself as something different, and a large portion of the electorate had concluded that the status quo had failed them and they were desperate to grasp at anything new.  Hillary was practically the standard bearer for the status quo.  Bernie, at least, represented change, and seemed to at least consider the interests of the average, non-elite, citizen.

It certainly didn’t help that Hillary skipped campaigning altogether in some states.  They didn’t have big money or many electoral votes, and they tended to go Democrat anyway.  It was more efficient to campaign strategically where the stakes were higher.  Stopping by to eat rubber chicken, pretending to listen and care about their concerns, and pick up their (smaller) checks, wasn’t worth her time and effort - after all, what choice did they have.  It turned out the had the choice to not turn out and vote for her, contributing to her loss.  The Democrats took that as a sign that the system was broken and the electoral college system needed to be abolished so that those voters could be completely ignored without consequence.  Democrats entirely missed the bigger lesson, the one that the founders embedded in the electoral college that ALL voters are important.

Democrats need to realize that it is the politicians role to serve the voters and not the other way around.  Stop telling them what their priorities should be and start listening to them tell you what their priorities actually are.  And please, please, stop insulting them.  Let them disagree with you on issues without accusing them of being evil and/or stupid and seek enough common ground to give them reason to vote for you anyway.  Once you’re in power, you can do whatever you want on whatever issues you want, but without the voters all you can do is complain.

I’m a conservative who has been voting straight Democratic tickets to oppose Trump and MAGA.  I realize that this means if my candidate wins, their actions on many issues will be contrary to what I would wish, however at this point, I feel that preserving freedom outweighs any and all specific issues, which we can debate again after the crisis has been resolved.  If I, and the many other conservative never-Trumpers, are willing to accept the loss on issues for the greater good, I wish the Democrats were willing to compromise enough to accept the win.[/quote]

Very well said. Totally agree.[/quote]
