There’s a big difference between “always vote for the Democrat” and “always vote for Trump”.

A big chunk of the Trump electorate has been increasingly radicalized Republicans. Folks who genuinely believe Democrats are Satanic. The Trump movement works by tapping into this cohort and feeding on their intense anxiety.

Democrats are getting a similar treatment, particularly as old GOP staffers change parties.

I will continue voting blue until Republicans understand what Americans truly want from their politicians

Doggedly putting up candidates like Kristen Sinema, Eric Adams, and Dianne Feinstein to high office won’t compel Republicans to change.

One routinely sides with her conservative friends and calls it bipartisan, another feeds off blue lives matter jingoism and fuels the hysteria, and the third is too senile to present any kind of strategic opposition even presuming her politics don’t suck.

There’s no future for progressive politics in a party that can win as Republican Lite.
