To me that loss was people being fed up and pissed off at the arrogance from the left, and this election is just showing that it hasnt changed. Will this being so close, whichever way it goes, get the left to finally realize that something needs to change if they want reach more people? I think so many people that would normally be in the middle are voting Trump because of that. Trump is extremely divisive, but I dont think the left is that far behind just in a different way. I agree with you, but I wouldn't call it arrogance, but only from lack of a better word. I'm sorry, but if you're a minority and voting for Trump, you're an idiot. if you're a woman and voting for Trump, you're an idiot. if you don't have health care and voted for Trump, you're an idiot. Other than calling these people out for the idiots that they are, what else can you do? You can't reason or be logical with them, it doesn't register. All you can do is either lie to them like Trump does or force socialist legislation on them, let them fall in love with it (social security, medicare, medicade, etc) and then remind them of who gave them said programs. If they're not too stupid to understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the left can be condescending at times because they come at things from a scholar-like perspective. It doesn't make them wrong on the issues, but perhaps how they deliver? Also, when you are a big tent party it is hard to be all things for all people at the same time. I think the GOP has done a marvelous job at becoming a populist "White grievance" destination for a lot of white folks who have been misinformed and lied to about what minorities are trying to fight for. I live in CA and I know plenty of people even here who subscribe to the "white people just can't catch a break" nonsense. It is weird to me and kind of scary because the GOP has gotten away with not really having to run on any kind of policy for going on about 20 years now and they still win lots of elections.

It feels a alot funnier now. When I woke up, the first thing I saw was some nerdy dude with glasses on MSNBC saying "The democrats have to feel gut punched at what they are witnessing at all levels, house, senate, presidency...." and I was hoping it was merely a bad dream.

Agreed. They didn't learn. It's easy to call Trump voters idiots, hicks, rural rubes, low information voters, racists, because...well, they are. But calling them those things isn't going to want them to see the left's point of view and come around to them. The beatings will continue until the morale improves, as the old saying goes. You bring up being fed up and being pissed off at the arrogance of the left, well, they still are and it's not a wonder as to why. IMO, the politicians and elected officials can only do or say so much. True change should start with us. It's really easy to dismiss a family member or a friend as a Trump Humper and yell at them or ignore them altogether. Some of them can't be reached, that's just the nature of things. But I believe that some of them could come around on logic and facts if they're presented in an eye-to-eye type of way, not being yelled at, insulted or talked down to. Won't happen overnight, won't happen next week, might take awhile. Unfortunately we're a society of people that's grown accustomed to having everything happen immediately, the long game is a foreign concept. People on the left shouldn't be surprised to go "Hey, check out these facts and how they affect you..." and then not have it take immediately. It'll take persistence at an eye to eye level.

JSSkinz Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 My hot take, Latino's feel they were neglected as most of the focus was on the black vote and people of color are not liberal.

Hersh Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'm real interested in what the judge does today. Gotta hope people in contempt and order ballots to be counted given they failed to deliver ballots. Maybe the polls didn't suck as much as we thought.

The mandate concept, and what it justifies, is out the window. Win by one vote and you can have a clear conscience putting the screws to half the country.
