Nope. Never Trumpers will either vote for him or stay home. There is no reason to court them as they still support his policies even if they are -- (edited) - TWuG Nov 6, 12:31 10
- That's just not true. Seriously. I know several people who fall into that category. Many of them didn't vote for Trump in 2016. Some don't even - pmb Nov 6, 12:36 9
  - This is what I'm saying, and if we lose with Warren, those people are to thank/blame. Selfishness -- nm - JackDawson Nov 6, 12:46 2
    - I mean, ok. But maybe we win with a different candidate. That's what we're discussing here. - pmb Nov 6, 12:50 1
      - But maybe he’s not the right candidate if he can’t credibly run ok the issues that matter - JackDawson Nov 6, 13:03

    - No offense, but that is tunnelvision. Again, I'm not saying she deserves to lose, but winning here is more important than purity of ideology. I - pmb Nov 6, 12:53 4
      - Your posture could equally be seen as tunnel vision. It is a fact that there are more people in this country that are middle class than are well to do - JackDawson Nov 6, 13:04 2
        
        There's the presumption that the center message is more popular than the progressive message. I think recent election results mostly indicate that - TWuG Nov 6, 13:07 1
        
        Recent elections prove this isn’t true imo -- nm - JackDawson Nov 6, 13:09
      - I'm not interested in courting ANYONE who could vote for Trump for ANY reason. Fuck the lot of them for being horrible people -- nm - TWuG Nov 6, 12:57
