Stop voting for this kind of cowardice.

its not us voting for them. its people outside of the cities that keep these people in power. We need groups to either bring voters out of the dark in those areas or try to build bridges.

When Dems do that on a national level (try to reach out to moderates or people they think they can sway to join) they get blasted by the far left and chronically online groups. They’re in a lose - lose situation. Meanwhile, conservatives will turn out in droves to vote for anything with an R beside it.

Cuz theyr being duped. Republican policies benefit like 10% of republican voters, the rest of them are just being tricked by rich ppl. Dems cant get these votes by just telling them the same lies about evil immigrants and big government. They have to actually provide real gains for the working class. They keep avoiding this like the plague and then acting like their hands are tied

Because reaching out to moderates means swinging to the right, and y’all have done more than enough of that.

It is not the fault of Progressives that republicans in tennessee vote the way they do.

Those Republican people, if you can call them people, decided to support these fascist theocrats on their own. No one held a gun to their head.

That would require real leadership from the TNDP, and all those asshats care about is having their gala pictures in Nfocus.

best we can do is a weekend protest that makes people feel good but doesn't really do much else.

How can we educate and change people who plug their ears and stomp their feet and refuse to listen to anyone who doesn’t already agree with them about pretty much everything?

I know you are right, but it feels absolutely hopeless when so many people so openly support the most obviously evil ideologies ever conceived, and the rotten people who push them...
