Kindly explaining to my super liberal friends and family members who are mostly “coastal elites” that who THEY want to be the Dem nominee really doesn’t matter because we need someone who can win in THE MIDDLE of the country is a Sisyphean task
Me: “I know Medicare for all sounds like it would theoretically be awesome, also it is an electoral hard grenade, and unfeasable at this time because the country can only handle incremental change right now, can we please focus on protecting Obamacare because people like it now.”
Me: “yes I know the Electoral College system seems fucked up to you, but also it is ***in the Constitution*** and if you tell the people who benefit from it that you are going to take it away from them, they will vote against you and you will be stuck with 4 more years of trump,
when you could have had voting rights protection laws and given voting rights back to people they have been stripped from instead.”
Me: “yes, I know all your friends like that person too, also if the Dem nominee has a 97% margin in California and New York they can still lose because SWING STATES, sorry to inform you of this fact but THESE ARE THE FUCKING RULES hate the game not the playa.”
