Another Democratic operative close to Harrisworld says they sent memos and data to Harris campaign staffers underscoring how, among other things, Republican voters, believe it or not, vote Republican — and that the data over the past year screamed that Democrats instead needed to reassure and energize the liberal base and Dem-leaning working class in battleground states. “We were told, basically, to get lost, no thank you,” says the operative.
lmao
sent this to one of the neighbors I’m trying to radicalize
he first responded to just the headline by saying, “but doesn’t it seem like a good idea to try to win over any Republicans we can?” 😂
sent him the part you quoted, and then a moment later
he is now just saying he’s very tired and can’t talk anymore tonight and has sworn off watching news for a while.
!!! somebody tell me what to send him tomorrow. need some hopeful stuff that isn’t too obviously commie because he will reject it. not too long, either – he is retired but he has ADHD.
other cool neighbor is gonna be busy at work all weekend, but I’ll pester her Monday
You can maybe try one of Bernie’s recent statements. One of them was generally positive about how Democrats can move forward from this, but also critical. Obviously that’s not our goal, but it could push him a little bit.
oooooooohhhhhh this is a good idea. he told me after Hillary lost that he wished he had listened to me and voted for Bernie in the primary.
thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Give them some time and space. Let each bite set in, one step at a time. It’s important work you are doing, but don’t just be another political pest, IMHO.
as I said to someone else with similar concerns, I promise to be gentle. ❤️
I would space it out a day or two between comments. Keep pushing, just you don’t want to be annoying about it. The libs are sore right now.
I solemnly promise to be gentle ❤️ he’s one of my few remaining irl friends.
he is the only person outside my immediate family to have seen me having a PTSD-induced panic attack, and he was very kind about it.
it also seemed to change how he sees me, and he has been treating me much more like a peer than a kid sister ever since, which doesn’t make a ton of sense to me, but 🤷 I’ll take it.
You know, I didn’t see the “not to long” and “hopeful” part and thought you should send him this:

Except its not short or hopeful. Lol maybe this is a good send for the “anger” part of the grieving process.
wasn’t terribly surprised by any of it but jfc this
this makes me very angry
I just cannot wrap my brain around having so little conscience
Some figure about how many people didn’t vote at all and why didn’t the Dems appeal to them.
