Maybe but there's this shitlib take that the problem with the Democrats isn't their shitty candidates or their shitty policies or their shitty consultants or their shitty campaigns.
The problem is the voters are just too deplorable to vote the right and honorable way.
This whole "you can't change minds with reason" is a shibboleth for these types of people.
These people would rather lose and be self-righteous about being "one of the few good ones" than put any pressure on the dems to stop this country's increasingly fast slide into fascism.
But you can't change minds with reason. You have to put irrational passion and emotion into the mix. If reason always prevailed and changed minds, Trump would've never ever lead any enterprise or endeavor, let alone become president of a country.
Cemeteries and prisons are filled with people who were/are right.
I think Trump would not be president if the Democrats hadn't thrown a horrible batch of candidates at him.
