Here on DU, or where?

It’s not just the few ones I know in real life, but also many I follow and they follow me back on Twitter, many have admitted they didn’t really think it would get this bad and will vote Dem in next election ifthere is still voting, majority of others have gone radio silent. I see only a handful of those on Twitter that I have chatted with for years still being stubborn about it, but even those appear to equally hate both parties. I’ve been working on them, but not by telling them I told you so over and over. I am trying to bring them in and bashing won’t work, maybe nothing will but definitely not bashing or I told you so’s. Many, many Democrats told them (on Twitter threads) prior to the election they didn’t need their vote anyway. (I never did) but that message was very loud and clear. I mention that because, yes WE Were 100% right about everything that would happen, but maybe we should all start by admitting to them we do desperately need their votes. Because they were right about that, we DO need them.

I haven’t seen many if any comments on DU saying anything against Harris. Fetterman, yup, but not Harris. Maybe I missed them. Regardless, my opinion is that we need to do everything possible to bring them in, despite however or through what resources they formed their opinions on.

I personally thought she was amazing.
