2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Speaking out to Ivanka, a hate enabler, is what we all should be doing [View all]Yurovsky
(2,064 posts)and when we have just lost a close election, we don't need to be scaring off swing voters who may well vote Democrat in the midterms or 2020.
If you want to heckle Ivanka at the podium, fine. If you want to protest at functions whaler she is present, fine. If you want to tell her she's the Daughter of Lucifer himself, fine. But screeching at her on a plane in front of her small children while other passengers video record the episode works to Ivanka's (and her dad's) advantage by painting her and her family as the victim.
How damn stupid are we? The last thing we need to be doing is ginning up support for these people, but that's exactly what the guy on the plane did, and what the OP seems to think is smart activism, but in reality is stupid politics. There are far more effective ways of confronting the Trumps while BUILDING support for progressive politics and Democratic politicians.
