In reply to the discussion: Beto O'Rourke has done a post mortem on the Texas election and it seems pretty dead on to me [View all]Butterflylady
(3,542 posts)29. Your last paragraph I have to agree with so much it hurts.
We do not tell the people enough about all the positives the Democratic party has done for the country. My guess is the majority of this country has no idea. The repugs have been spreading lies about how the democrats are spreading socialism and are really communists in disguise. I did not hear one word about how rump is pandering to Putin or that n. Korean guy.
I know our candidates wanted to tell the people what they intend to do for everyone, but gee couldn't they tell how this country is going toward the abyss and why?
Evidently rump voters don't see what we see we have to tell why. Hopefully some will see the light.
