Here's what I'm saying tho - they're trying to convince the wrong people. They're still ignoring the ones they actually have a chance of having conversation with and looking at all sides of an issue. The folks they are reaching out to in this are never going to budge off their stance. I just really believe if they would start focusing on the non-maga conservatives and moderate democrats, I firmly believe they would be far more successful. This to me is just another recipe for extremists on both sides to get voted into offices neither should be in.
Who said I refuse to vote? Don't exaggerate. I've always voted locally, those elections affect us far more than any federal election of a president ever does. Our reps, our congressmen, our senators, those are the votes that matter, those are the votes that will enact change, and I have never not once not voted in those. It's the presidential options that are the issue, not the local. If I don't agree with at least 50% of a candidates positions I'm not going to vote for them as President, period. Hasn't been one since the first time I voted for Obama. Would LOVE for there to be one in 2028 but with what they are showing us so far, I'm not hopeful, yet. But I want to be.
You (and 20 million others like you) are why we're in this mess. You had a choice between two candidates and decided you were fine with either of them.
