How to attract the other side? Bernie Sanders said it best: "It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them." Dems needed to recognize that most people are self-interested and will become more so as hardships increase, and hardships have definitely increased since 2020. And minority groups yelling in fear online need to recognize that showing interest in the average working American doesn't mean you want to jail or kill those minority groups. So sorry if you think Republicans want to jail and kill you, but the reality is people are suffering and they chose the party that was showing the most interest in the average working American. I am pretty confident 90% of Trump voters would swap him for Vance or any other more cogent human who was championing workers rights.

I have never asked anything about attracting the average voter or the working class, because that's already something that anyone wants to do. >Dems needed to recognize that most people are self-interested and will become more so as hardships increase, and hardships have definitely increased since 2020. Their perceived hardship perhaps, inflation, unemployment has gone down and even wages have gone up since 2020. >And minority groups yelling in fear online need to recognize that showing interest in the average working American doesn't mean you want to jail or kill those minority groups. I have no clue what this "minority" is? Democrats? Because I can tell you already it ain't them who is saying that maga cultists wants to kill Democrats, it's literally the maga cultists themselves[1]. >So sorry if you think Republicans want to jail and kill you, but the reality is people are suffering and they chose the party that was showing the most interest in the average working American.

It's not a matter of think, it's a matter of actual probability being higher than a fever dream. If you genuinely believe one should vote for a person that is going to try to make themselves a damn king/dictator, then I want you to also say that you think it was fine for the Germans to vote in Hitler because they unlike Americans had actual real economic problems (2700% inflation compared to 2.4%, 24% unemployment vs 4.1%).
