“America saw exactly who it was last night… Exactly who we are,” (D.L.) Hughley said. “I think Obama was what we aspire to be, Trump and his supporters are who we are.”
The problem that Dems have is that they continue only to offer aspirations. Hope. Dreams. Instead of addressing what we are. No, they’re not going to fix racism in time for the election. But “we” are more than just racists or fascists. If Dems want to win they need to address the rest of what we are: broke. Sick. Overworked. Exploited. Isolated. Hope and dreams, maybes and mights aren’t going to win them the election.
I’m pretty sure everyone who falls into those categories isn’t going to vote for Trump unless they’re already brainwashed—and there’s nothing we can do about that. We can “pray” Trump just dies of old age.
This assumption is part of the problem. No one said they’ll vote for Trump, but there are a significant number of people in those categories who are disillusioned of the entire system and don’t see any candidate offering real solutions or taking real meaningful action toward the drastic systemic change we really need.
This assumption that “if someone doesn’t like Biden, they must like Trump,” is the exact type of toxic tribalism that put Trump in office.
You’ve misinterpreted my comment and I don’t appreciate you putting words in my mouth. I’ve never said if a person doesn’t like Biden, they must like Trump. I said that if they are in the categories mentioned in the above comment, that they aren’t going to vote for Trump—with the exception of those who have been brainwashed into thinking the Republican Party cares about them.

They probably won’t vote at all.
I’m not sure how Trump even came into this tbh. The article is about Biden.
Tbh, I’m not sure why you even replied initially, I was commenting to someone else. You didn’t even bother reading it.
Yes, I did. I read the whole comment chain. This is yet another wrong assumption.
