    Stop treating rural republicans, chuds, incels, and conservatives, as human beings. The problem is that too many democrats want to go back to the “good old days” of bipartisanship. Those days are long gone.

    We have to treat any republican, no matter how “reasonable” as an enemy of democracy and the United States. It doesn’t matter if they’re family, friends, co-workers, etc. This is who they really are.

      That attitude isn’t helpful either.

      Bipartisanship is possible, but only by convincing everyone to come further left.

      Because actual left leaning policy is popular.

      That’s the true lesson that Democrats refuse to learn. Mostly because they’ve been paid not to.

      We need a cardinal voting system.
