I'm not going to get my hopes up, but it would be great if they just started their own political party.
Obviously they screwed up. They lost an election to Donald Trump. HOW they feel they screwed up is what tells the story.Quote:

It's infuriating.
They really need to drop guns and avoid comments on christanity. Focus on helping people, labor, econ, healthcare etc.
Old whites secretly want better healthcare. They're going to be using more and more of it.
The gun stuff will continue to sort itself out as health and standard of living goes up.
Dems need to realize that people are going to take care of themselves before others, and that doesn't mean they're bad people. Calling them bad people will not win them to your side.
Actually, it does. But hardcore moral conservatives are almost always hypocrites.Quote:

Dems need to realize the only way to win elections is to fight the patriarchy and white privilege.
I don't care what your Bible says people should do.
People on both sides do this, too. Andrew was just saying that women should be marching in Saudi Arabia if they cared about helping the worst off. People are going to affect change by affecting the world that they see. Because they aren't leaving their bubble doesn't mean they hate those outside the bubble.
Maybe. But they will have to find a new narrative for it. The current language is antagonizing. Stuff like "white fragility" and "privilege" just piss off the people you need to win over.Quote:
