    You need to put your money with your mouth is and actually introduce policy changes benefitting the working class and publicize them in a way that even the dumbest person can understand.

    But they did and they tried to repeat it for over a year leading up to the election, even before Biden stepped down. The MAGA cult is utterly irrational and literally live in an alternate reality. It’s going to take a generation or longer for that hysteria to die out, if it even does.

    As for getting the 10+ million former Democrat voters out, that’s a whole other set of reasons.

    Honestly, in my opinion, the US is just way too varied and spread out to cater to everyone needed in order to win under our current electoral college system. It’s literally impossible without straight up giving empty promises/lies (which is what the GOP is doing). The next best solution is ranked choice voting and getting rid of the first-past-the-post system. Our country is just too large with too much variety for only two parties.

      Not doing this part is a key point of failure.
