How did they do it? They spoke to people’s patriotism. They spoke to people’s heartstrings. They spoke to people’s aspirations. They spoke to America’s founding principles. But all wrapped up in a pack of lies. The key to winning would be to do that too but to wrap it up in truth

Your opinion of the American people is incredibly low. That’s the real shame here. Not how much you hate Trump but how little you value the judgement of your fellow citizens.

He didn’t handle Covid well; quite the opposite. He didn’t create a lot of jobs in the states he mentioned; quite the opposite. He didn’t protect pre-existing conditions; he tried to get rid of Obamacare. And no he hasn’t “done so much for black people;” he demonizes their cause.

Why don’t the Democrats focus on courting Democrats and worry a bit less about courting Republicans? I’m certainly not a genius at math, but that would make sense.
