1/ Let's be honest: how many of you "reasonable" conservatives imploring Dems to reach across the aisle and make nice with Trump voters would have demanded that Trump voters to do the same if he had won? And what are the odds they would have listened to you? Yeah, so...be gone...
2/And if he were to somehow convince GOP state legislatures to submit GOP electors to the EC to steal the election (he won't, but play along), how many of you would demand such GOP ecumenism? Or be in the streets demanding his removal? Gimme a break...
3/ In that scenario Kasich, Santorum & writers like Thiessen & Olsen would be saying they wish he hadn't done it that way but gosh the Constitution allows it, and maybe if the left hadn't talked about the Green New Deal and Medicare 4 All it wouldn't have been necessary but gee..
4/They only counsel ecumenism to the left. WE have to bend, to make nice with salt-of-the Earth rural Americans, in ways they never have to bend or make nice with city dwellers. The only reason one would feel this way is bc you think the former are somehow more American...
5/ And the only people who think that are a) assholes, b) racists, or c) both. So no thanks. We'll win the same way your side would. We'll seek to govern the same way your side would. And we'll out organize you & watch your demographic shrink daily. And we will not look back..
6/ And eventually, when we are able to get y'all guaranteed health care and a healthier environment, among other things, you can thank us. Because we might not like you. But we want you to benefit from these things too....
7/ For now though, we're going to have to drag you, kicking and screaming to a pluralistic, multicultural democracy with opportunity for all. A place where all lives really WILL matter, in practice not just in rhetoric, because Black ones finally do...See you when we get there...
