Apr 27

about the people in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada that voted for Trump and to send Democratic women to the senate?
Or the people that voted for AOC and Trump which AOC reached out to? And what about the slow leakage of minority votes we've seen in the last 3 presidential elections?

Too many on DU completely filter out any media that criticizes Democrats campaigning from the left and uncritically accept the identitarian version of the Trump phenomena. Trump won Missouri by 18 points and the higher minimum wage/mandatory sick leave won by 8 points? Was that a point of emphasis in the presidential campaign? Nope.

Instead, Democrats go for the vote of the 8 anti-Trump people on the National Review and brag about the endorsement of corporate CEOs when a lot of Americans care less than zero who they want for president.
