Everyone knows being popular is more important than anything else. If Democrats want to be liked by people who vote for supremacist autocrats, obviously the best way to do that is to completely change everything about themselves so that they are indistinguishable from the supremacist autocrats. Because nothing is more validating than the approval of people who vote for supremacist autocrats.

I’m gonna give this same advice to my kids, too. “If everyone else at the party is doing drugs and telling racist jokes, you should do drugs and tell racist jokes too so you’ll fit in. Maybe put out a little more so Billy will like you.”

This. When traditional Republicans and swing voters pulled the lever for MAGA, they became MAGA. I don’t care what those kinds of voters think they “want.” If they want closed borders and no deportations, it’s because they are what they are now—MAGA racists. I do NOT want to “put out” for those Billies. We need to do what’s right for migrants. And we need to set an example for Americans. They need to know that there is a party that doesn’t cater to hate in search of votes.

What’s interesting about these kind of replies is the absolute certainty you have that your positions are the only morally correct ones, when a lot of the country thinks your positions are the immoral ones.

I don’t know how that gap is bridged. Trump voters consider you immoral. You consider Trump voters immoral. It’s not just politics. It is core identity.

It’s another reason we can’t be a single country anymore. Maybe that’s the winning platform Democrats need: elect us and we’ll agree to a divorce.

Yes exactly. And the t-rump voters are idiots who are mostly dumb, white, rural, hicks who bitterly cling to their christian nationalism and guns. Full stop.

This. We need to make the swing voters feel shame for associating with white trash MAGA voters. Shame works. We won in 2020 because swing voters were embarrassed to be associated with Trump. Our job is even easier this time because it’s already obvious that it was stupid for anyone to vote for Trump.

I am an Asian swing voter and no amount of shaming will change my support for Trump and Vance.

Well, that says a lot about you. None of it good.

How can an Asian vote with racist rednecks? Are you low-achieving?

Not “do you like us”, but list all policies and “agree or disagree”, and do you like this or that policy?
