    Weird that their strategy of courting Republicans isn’t working, given there’s already a Republican candidate that appeals more broadly to Republicans (on account of saying out loud, “I’m a Republican”).

      Are democrats that clueless about politics? Americans love love LOVE the GOP. They’re more loyal to it than their wives.

      If they actually cared about progressivism, it would be much easier to recruit a bunch of white men allies, register as republicans, hide your power level and claim you’re fash and when you get elected do all the progressive stuff behind everyone’s backs.

        There are a bunch of “moderate” Republicans that don’t like Trump because he’s an incompetent clown, they would rather have a competent fascist in power, I suppose that’s who Kamala is trying to appeal to. But if you ask me, the moderate Republicans will still vote Trump for the party behind him. The Dems have people like Warren and Bernie in their party who might do something pro-labor once in 4 years, so just vote NSDAP no matter who.

      Nobody could have predicted that Republicans weren’t going to vote for a Black woman in the presidential elections.

      After all, Republicans are famous for their acceptance of Black people and how well they treat women.
