I disagree because this isn't a party issue, this is a country issue. The party over country crap is a big part of the problem and you're just reinforcing it. To lay responsibility on the Dems to fix this is playing the same game and frankly it's an insane position to take.Calcupcakes said:Another Bear said:
Why is it only on the Dems to fix this?
Because Trump's base of 35% or so won't change their minds no matter what, so if the Dems just stopped the infighting and turned out to vote, he would be gone in 2020.
Because at the end of the day, it's still a beauty contest to most voters, and it will be Trump vs. _____. If the Dems nominated someone crazier and less palatable then Trump, then we may have a repeat of 2016. People might choose to stay home again. There might not be more things American despise than a Commie, for instance.
Because for many "independents" the "Anyone but Trump" chant might not be enough. It might depend on who that "anyone" is, and the Dems control who that "anyone" is.
Why? Because the GOP nominated and voted for Trump, or looked the other way.
Frankly this is as much or more a GOP problem. They nominated him. Mostly however the party over country position is unpatriotic in the particular instance because apparently you know he's bad for the country...yet you're leaving the other party to fix it? I call bullsh*t.
