We liberals do that now.

We have always been allies with the workers, minorities, and the down trodden.

And that goes back over a 100 years. FDR was more progressive than Obama or Biden and won four terms when the country was much more conservative.

In fact Bernie had much more support with the workers than Hillary!!

So don't blame the progressives.

Why do you think the minorities, women, kids and LGBTQ community vote for Democrats in huge numbers?

Why do you think the above populations are fleeing to the Democrats?

It is because they like the progressive policies and see we dems as the good guys. Which we are!.

Biden won by over 7 million votes.

But we are now faced with a challenge to our democracy and we need to meet it head on by alerting the people as to how dangerous the Republicans are.

Many have tried to appease the Republicans and all they got for it was betrayal and their hears torn out.

As mentioned to you before, we cannot be the "Neville Chamberlains".

We need to be the Winston Churchills.

We need to fight them.

"Neville Chamberlain was prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940. He is best known for his role in the Munich Agreement of 1938 which ceded parts of Czechoslovakia to Hitler and is now the most popular example of the foreign policy known as appeasement.

We liberals better learn how to LISTEN and TALK to the GOP's target voters outside of New York and Berkeley.

We talk over them with implications that any university degree is more important than their life and work experience. That a lawyer from Yale is assumed to be smarter and wiser than any coal miner or plumber that skipped college.

We must win over the voters; not win one battle and then lose the war.

We must deal with our own ideological dogma culture that kills our own, like cancelled Senator Al Franken. We must practice proportionality in our own tent.

The way we win them is exposing the injustice and corruption better and clearer; and rewarding all merit over coded intellectual ideology they do not often comprehend or agree with (right-or-wrong.)
