How many registered Democrats voted for Trump in 2016, or Bush in 2000? I bet they are greater in number than the Stein or Nader vote. How come they never get mentioned? How come we're not talking about ways to get the Reagan Democrats back? There's way more of them than Stein voters.
Why does the so-called "left" get all the credit for electing Trump, when compared to moderates and conservatives, liberals rarely vote Republican? They are one of the most reliable groups of Democratic voters.
I challenge you and others to put your energy and analysis towards reducing the white majority vote in favor of Republicans. That would make a real difference. If you're in Wisconsin, a huge number of friends and neighbors who are white will be pulling the lever in favor of a gerrymandered and discredited Republican legislative majority. So, will more bashing of the so-called left change that in the slightest?
So much energy expended on this thread for no purpose other than to beat dead horses. Fresh thinking sure would be good to sustain, coming up to critical 2019 and 2020 elections.
