They have to pick a side, so you court the center, by showing them that the SIDES aren't event close to the same. Most most of the people here have no life savings, no hope for retirement, shit jobs that don't pay living expenses... You know what the Republican messaging was this election? Hatians are going to eat your pets, trans people are going to assault your daughter in the bathroom, and FEMA is going to take your house. Meanwhile Dems were pitching home buying assistance, expanding healthcare, and fortifying human rights.

Turns out, we needed to call out the lying theiving bigots for being lying theiving bigots, otherwise the dumber half of the population is willing to vote for them. Full stop. End of story.
