True. Their policies are so bad they have to disavow them…
Except to the right audience they are extremely proud of them. Yes overall their policies are unpopular but they aren't without support
Sure - but they don’t need to win those folks votes
What's the point here? I'm trying to point out the very real danger they represent. Are you really going to downplay that danger? This is how we lost roe v wade
Whoa…I agree with you. And I’m not sure why what I said upset you. I am just speaking in the context of the discussion of the post which is campaign strategy.
We need to shout about Project 2025 from the rooftops because it’s so toxic the Trump campaign wants it to stay hidden.
I find it counterproductive to say Republicans have no policy because they do, and it's ugly
I thought that was an excellent point and was glad you pointed it out
Alright good. And it's good to see a misunderstanding not go ugly online, as it too often does.
I’ve seen and had way more go this way on Lemmy than on Reddit.
Just a better culture around here.
Well thank you for holding up your end. I admittedly lose my cool with people sometimes. It's hard to read tone, but I will say that you did a good job of avoiding condescension, which is probably the biggest problem in online discourse that I see.
To be honest I had to edit the tone of my comment a couple times before submitting it 😉
That's ok -- at least you did it. I need to do more of that
It's that they don't need to be won over. They are going to vote for Trump regardless.
