49. If you're not going anywhere

You can’t see red hats.

Like many here, you’re refusing to associate with anyone with a different political belief. Certainly your choice. I’ve read thread after thread after thread of DU’ers bragging about disowning family and ending life long friendships over politics.

What’s the strategy to get them to your side in the future? After disowning and ending friendships, you’re going to “hope” they see the error of their vote and come crawling back to your side? I highly doubt that happens.

Before this election, I was posting about VP Harris strategy in PA. The economy here is booming. Not one ad about that. In fact, the opposite. The message was I know the economy is bad, I’ll fix it.

The strategy of the Democratic Party and those of you who refuse to associate with anyone who doesn’t agree with you is going to work in 26 and 28?

By then, you might be, as you claim, a hermit. With no way to affect the vote of any of the “stupid people”.

Good luck.
