I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.

immediately alienating everyone who may like him

People who like Trump vote Trump, and are going to vote republican anyway.

There are enough Republicans to win elections

So adopting republican policies didn't get them the wins, are you suggesting the democrats would have won if they adopted republican policy AND pretended to respect Trump?

I think their point is that the campaign should've focused on reasons to vote for them, not just against Trump. Then maybe swing voters could've been swayed.

I think we need to reform the Democrat party or wait for the collapse of the US so a progressive change can happen.

Reforming the democrat party isn't easy.

The DSA managed to win control of the Nevada branch. Before the handover of power, the outgoing dems spent the entire treasury and ran up a debt with their consultant buddies, and essentially burned any infrastructure could on the way out.
