61. Why tag the actions and statements of specific individuals on entire demographics?

Thu Sep 4, 2025, 09:24 PM

Sep 4

That is a propagandist's trick.

That trick is why the Democratic party lose elections that should have been won.

Why minority demographics and young voters chose to be less than thrilled with the Democratic Party or consider themselves independent or lose faith.

Better to relate why one should vote Democratic.

Better to acknowledge the issues of others and work to make the nation and world egalitarian and non-violent.
