There are more Independant voters than Dems or MAGAs, that's who you need to impress. Nobody gets elected without the Indy vote, yet nobody tries to attract it, because the Indy vote won't respond to propaganda, or appearance, or bullshit. They actually want to know how you intend to govern, and politicians don't really want to talk about that.
We will never move on as a nation, until we acknowledge the MAGA stain, truly clean it up, and prohibit it from existing. Our Nation, our citizens, and the World, need to see a true commitment to decisively crushing and purging MAGA. Only then, can we possibly win the forgiveness of the rest of the World.
And I will only support candidates who vow to crush MAGA as their first priority, and then have a plan for reasonable proposals for health care, education, campaign Finance Reform, etc.
And for those who think the Dems need something more than Retribution Against MAGA, they are wrong right now. We will NEVER be able to enact any responsible legislation until MAGA is out of the picture.
Plus, imagine if we'd let Hitler off the hook because "we want to move on," and he got back into power a few years later, and picked off where he left off, except worse? That's what we did with MAGA, and the world is watching to make sure we don't do it again. If we do, this country is done, as far as having any decent friends again.
