(13,510 posts)I voted for Harris for sure. But we lost.
Trump is definitely triggering every trigger. But that doesn't mean we have to let him play us like a violin all the time, abscond with our working class base demographics, etc.. We need to get in the game. Trump and Trumpism are beatable, but not if we lose our minds all the time every time he tweaks one of us.
To their credit, a lot of Democratic leaders are starting to get it imo. I include Newsom, Fetterman, and Buttigieg among them and many others.
This bit about calling people Nazis, talking about words as if they are violence, etc., they are frankly childish. But, they are the kind of childishness that causes disaster for the political party that won't disassociate itself from it. Our mature Dem leaders can lead us to a better future. We should definitely let them.
