In reply to the discussion: This Bernie Democrat will do his part to help repair the Democratic Party [View all]egbertowillies
(4,058 posts)It has nothing to do with what Trump does but what he told Americans during the election that he said he would do. He was left of the Democrats on many issues.
We all know he would not do these things based on the Republican Party but enough people thought that to get elected. It is important that as Democrats we understand that while we have the values we are poor at making the narrative.
As an example, I am watching Menendez on MSNBC. They are just talking Nikki Haley and Russia. Most Americans want to know what politicians are going to do for them. Did Menendez use his 6 minutes to turn the discussion to an economic issue that folks can grab on to? No! Republicans take every opportunity to push the message.
One of the things I do, is attempting to be one of many that are sticking to a Progressive narrative above and beyond Russia. Something people can hang on to.
Maybe if you attempt to look at the good folks are trying to do as opposed to the bad you think they are doing, we could move forward. You can choose to call my stuff clickbait. I am trying to make a difference. I gave up much to be a full-time political activist/blogger. Most think I am crazy. I think many of us need to do this.
I will admit, I wish Progressives would not be so quick to eat their own or assume they are but altruistic.
I was never a Trump supporter and everything I wrote about played into exactly the reason Trump won the electoral college.
Have a wonderful day.
