    Yes. Democrats alienating the people whose votes they need to win is absolutely a democrat problem.

      You’re not owed your ass kissed for a vote. That’s not how it works. A candidate has to try to appeal to more than single issue voters. Historicity this has been proven true.

          And I said a candidate needs to appeal to a wider audience than to court single issue voters. If those single issue voters understood this, maybe things would have gone differently.

                  I hope you didnt learn the wrong lesson. I was doing post mortem on arguments I had before the election and you came up. Decided to check in on you. My heart was so full after reading this. I know we didn’t have the impact we wanted but to see you put aside grievances and made the hard choice is moving me right now. I wanted so badly for you to be astroturfing when I clicked your name but to find this was much much better and gave me a glimpse of some long lost hope I use to have.
