The issue is you can't teach someone who not only doesn't want to learn, they react in opposition to the idea of understanding anything outside of emotional reactions.

I also hope that those similar to your ideals focus on building you up for your common values, rather than arm chair criticisms while ignoring the deeply problematic other side of the equation.
I wish you all the luck in gathering voters behind your cause
Is anyone really that uninformed though?
People voted for the racist rapist. Ignorant would be a component
It's really fascinating how so many online have all the answers, and it would be so easy, and yet, you're not out there doing it
America voted for Trump, but you're going to blame the people who were working extremely hard to offer a viable alternative?
Sorry but that's bullshit and is harmful.
Voting is quintessential to getting us out of this mess and trying to downplay the power of voting is only beneficial to those currently in power.
There are many actions to take beyond voting, but there is one very specific reason trump is president right now: his people voted.
Wow, next you're going to say Orange lives don't matter.
Jokes aside, agreed, tolerating intolerance has little difference from supporting intolerance.
Yes, if we don't let the Nazis back in then we're no better than them!
I understand where you're coming from but I think there is an atmosphere tinging the conversation (and there are a lot of threads happening so maybe I'm the one doing that, not trying to be perfect here)
I'm not bitching about voters. I'm saying people are blaming Democrats, or Harris, or whoever they want to, but one side showed up with more people. I see you are continuing that as well by saying she ignored her own base.
More people showed up for what Trump was selling. Harris was certainly not ignoring her base in favor of the Cheneys but I think you mean they relatively to your expectations (?).
If she were leaning more right, then I guess that was the correct choice because that's who showed up to vote.
Have they stopped teaching politics in school or something?
