After 2016, ive wondered for a while if it would have made more sense to run progressives in republican primaries instead of dem ones. We would probably have been better off if progressives took advantage of republican party weaknesses

Focus on an issue that affects the most people at first. Keep doing that instrad so people stop seeing it as “they only care about them” and start seeing it as “those people care about everyone”.

Whether we like it or not, thats how a lot of people see it. “They care more about a tranny going to the bathroom then me struggling to pay bills”. Its not right, but it is what it is. So lets do things that lift everyone and then we get capital to focus on a few.

The ban, but more the protest. Its just another distraction and people take the bait.

Whats a waste of energy

They refuse to meet people at their level, and its killing the party.
