I hope that is true but if you look at the polling on young men and the split that is happening there, I am not convinced. So that's fine if what you say plays out NOW, but lets all be sure of our numbers before we start kicking people out the tent.

I think the polling is bullshit. People need leadership that stands for something. Polling is why dems are hung up right now.
At least you are staking out a position. Do you have evidence to support that position? I think anyone would accept that politics is a balance of both leading and following the electorate tho so I can respect the "we need to show stronger leadership" position, I agree with it.
I don't have evidence. I think politics is a death cult. I'm just a poor disabled American in the trenches with my finger on the pulse of what real people think. Sometimes you just gotta have faith in your position and the people. Give me a leader that is a real person and cares and I'm in.
I held my nose and voted for Harris but I'm nearly at the end of my rope. I had hope for Obama. I keep being lied it. At this point, I'm certain than establishment Dems are a controlled opposition party and I will not be extorted into voting forever and validating that I believe in the system.
Belief is dangerously low. Dems are gonna have to at least run one genuine person of the people before they go back to lying.
I totally agree on the younger split. I'm not a fan of "the old people are dying off" rhetoric because the inherent problem of white superiority is being passed down to newer generations. However, you have to make sure your tent has strong poles to stand on. If you sacrifice your poles to bring in
More people than your entire tent falls. Which is what's happening to the Dems. They are trying to expand to reach right leaning or far right voters and are sacrificing their foundational poles to do it. And that's not okay. We can't abandon our values and our people.
Just keep an open mind. But remember that if your tent doesn't stand for anything it doesn't matter who's in it... and standing for something is a great way to recruit more numbers. Lastly, not to point fingers but the centrists started kicking people out of the tent first!
We’re gonna keep kicking transphobes out of the tent.
