You kinda dismissed legitimate gripes as aversion to pronouns and environmental concerns. Respectfully speaking its out of touch. Its also why Liberalism is falling down a flight of stairs. In US you have a geriatric candidate who the Dems wouldn’t replace, because they thought Trump would be in jail or unpalatable to “normal” Americans.

Here in Canada same thing, and Trudeau is on pace to get demolished hooking up with the NDP.

The left had their real chance in 2016 to wake up and realize that as smooth as Obama was he didn’t resonate in real terms with the electorate. Hes a rockstar for Liberals, but outside that he isn’t really respected the same way. Clinton fell on the sword but the Dems in arrogance learned nothing. Its still this fixation Trump is so evil anyone who would vote for him is evil too. Its entitled and arrogant and why the Dems are screwed.

Listen to the All In podcast with Trump. Its recent. Like genuinely listen to it. I still think Trump is awful choice and don’t support him, but he speaks to the problems people face in simple terms. It actually makes sense why people support him that aren’t bad people. Its the Dems that are shooting themselves all over again
