We lost some back in 2020 because of the foolish "defund the police" slogan as well as because of our two very prominent, resident socialists.
The rest of the trump voters who remain loyal to him, the magats/white supremacists and Q idiots, we definitely do not want. WTF could we possibly advocate to appeal to white fucking supremacists that's not going to totally alienate our base of Black voters and other POC? Black voters have saved our asses so many times IMO it's disgraceful to even contemplate going after the trump voters who remain. Sanders has pushed this in two losing presidential runs, going after white, working class voterswhich translates as the very people we just saw in the attempted putsch on Jan. 6
Are you kidding me?
We don't want those voters. They are anathema to the Democratic Party.
Don't even try it. Getting out potential voters in our communities is a continual and necessary effort because the voters you're advocating going after are the very ones who are continually trying to suppress the Black and POC votes.
No. Absolutely not. I can't think of a worse non-starter than that.
Get Stacey Abrams on the job. She'll show you how to get our voters out and it won't be going after magats.
