In reply to the discussion: Many Trump voters are NOT a lost cause... [View all]Caliman73
(11,728 posts)We shouldn't have to coddle them. They screwed up and they should be reminded that they screwed up. Their actions or inaction is still having consequences. We should not do anything but put out the message of what the Democratic Party stands for and wants for the people of this country and the rest of the world. It is up to people to be informed.
Lost cause, I think is irrelevant. We are the same Democratic Party that we have been. We support Unions and we support living wages. We are generally against militarism. We are for gender equality and the protection of civil rights. We are for having a sane and equitable immigration policy. We support practicing any faith tradition, but not imposing particular faith traditions on the public, which means that if you own a bakery, you bake cakes for weddings, not just particular weddings that your god thinks are okay. If you are pharmacist and you get a prescription for birth control or the morning after pill, you fill it or make sure it gets filled by some one in a timely manner.
If Trump voters support that then they should vote for Democratic candidates, period. If not, then they should keep voting for whoever else espouses their values. Trump and the Republicans have repeatedly shown what their priorities are over the last 30 years, and their priorities do not include the welfare of poor, working class, and middle class people.
