It will take years to fix what this monster has destroyed. We are never going to to get the perfect candidate but we must choose what is best for this country and its people. Environmental protection, NOAA, department of education, support for the disadvantaged, Gaza gone, no social safety net and so many other things gone but maybe someone will give you a pony.

... other than I'm not going to be a pedo Hitler.

That's not enough, Public Option is popular... Do that.

They get angry and don’t vote. You’re not just voting for you, you are voting so we don’t have to to witness people being snatched off the street, children who will never know who their parents are because after they put them in cages they dispersed them without records. We need to care about everyone or we become 1 issue voters like MAGA and that is just as self centered and cruel.

I think one of them was firedoglake, something about a used car salesman. Jack pine radicals , I think that was the names. No one is going to to get everything they want but the big picture is republicans are bad for everyone and we need to vote for the party that is moving us forward even baby steps are better than this dumpster fire. Oh please stop believing that Americans give a shit about economics. Most Americans can’t define it. When people vote against an emergency system that could have saved lives and try to justify a flood as gods will, you are not going to win them over. Brainwashing is a powerful weapon.

... first and it's **STARTS** with congress not the president.

FDR had a avg 65% Congress throughout his presidency that's what got him legislation he wanted.

We can have that now, that grass roots movement would need to start in communities that aren't traditional blue.

Public option after MAGA got rid of Medicare should be popular

The people who need assistance the most will not vote for a democrat. We have run progressive, moderates ,men and women. These people would rather starve in the streets than vote for a democrat. I can name 10 states right now that will vote republican up and down the the ballot no matter how bad things get. What is stopping progress is people keep voting for republican idiots in the senate and congress. Democrats progressive and other must vote for the democrats in every election except Fetterman.

... but even then a grass roots effort going into gerrymandered districts and giving something new sounds like the best we have right now.

So there must have been a lot of first time voters in 2024, or voters who skipped 2020 but came out in 2024, because there was just something like 6 million fewer ballots cast in 2024 compared to 2020.

883 is a pretty small sample size, wish they could have found more 2020 Biden voters/2024 abstainers, but at least somebody targeted this group and asked the right questions.

It's much better than chasing moderates or conservatives who still profess to be undecided three weeks before an election.

If the Democratic Party gives up being the party of FDR, it is doomed. We can be the party of Martin Luther King and FDR. AOC and Obama.

If I was a politician and Trump voters suddenly supported me and wanted to vote for me, I would question what I was doing wrong with my life and then quit a campaign right then and there.
