I don't understand why they don't understand that Trump will make life worse for everyone if he is allowed to stay in office.

(21,646 posts)instead of continuing to focus on people who have already said no thanks
I do hope an effort is made by all Dems to elect him instead of spending time making a list of who to blame if he doesnt win.
More Clinton Pumas (party unity my ass)in 08 did not vote for Obama after the primary than did Sanders Bernie or bust voters who sat out in 16.
But why dont people care? Because Obama continued to GOTV and attract new voters ,indies and even some repugs to create a large turnout without the pumas
in fact I never heard any Obama supporters keep looking back on those puma holdouts after he won the primary .
Expand the base with new voters not keep focusing on ones who have rejected Biden or support trump . I think it was a mistake in 16 and will be in 20 to keep spotlights on that group . Clinton still last year asserting they were powerful enough to make her lose
It actually puts them in the center instead of attracting new voters and making sure people return in Nov who came out in primaries for Biden

(5,376 posts)People keep harping back on the PUMAs voting for McCain over Obama, but There are two significant differences. First, McCain wasn't an existential threat to this country like Trump is. And these people refusing to back Biden are supposedly claiming to be progressive, which makes helping Trump get re-elected even more offensive, since he represents everything that progressives oppose, to themost extreme degree.

(54,403 posts)Trump's only opponent is Joe Biden. Biden has not only Trump as an opponent, but also those people who stand to gain (or think they do) either financially, or geopolitically (or both).
That's why our task is far more difficult.
When I was in college, there were some pretty stupid smart people there. I looked through that screen shot to see if my school was represented on there. Sure enough, and with one of the nastier posts.
Agreed about the asshole.

Pounding away at the (really very tiny) minority of recalcitrants is just a diversion and an annoyance.
