trying to fix problems like voter suppression, and going after millions of people who didn't vote?

I can't comprehend why would anyone think it is worth to alienate our base in order to go after people who will not vote Democratic no matter what.

I remember banging my head against the wall during the Gore/Lieberman campaign when Gore distanced himself from President Clinton in order to please people who would never vote for him no matter what. That was a mistake, and pandering to voters that for whatever reason voted for a misogynist racist and STILL support him would be a colossal mistake.

We don't need them. We won. The election was stolen. We need to make sure it doesn't happen again.
