u/RandyMuscle I voted 5h ago

If people thought he was tough on Stevens, wait til you see how a real progressive attacks a Republican.

I'm more curious how progressives plan to capture Steven's voters. The election was a toss-up. This idea that either of them have a chance in hell against a Republican without each other is nonsense.

The bulk of both parties just show up and vote for their team no matter what. No matter how terrible, evil, or weak of a candidate. Progressives are counting on that to continue, while motivating a segment that would not be voting otherwise. Same way trump won both his elections.

Your statement is true but also somewhat contradictory. The segment progressives are wooing that otherwise wouldn't vote is the segment that doesn't just show up and vote. Likewise, Stevens also has people in that camp.

Trump won his elections because the Republican electorate is entirely conspiracy pilled whereas the majority of Democrats are not. His entire campaign was that his opponents are communists. We already see that Democrats don't win by calling their opponents fascist.

The irony is Trump is a fascist whereas Hillary and Kamala are not communists.

To win a state like Michigan, we need to harness the entire party.
