Given the bolded, I'm not entirely sure you fully understand
Understand what?
because you're back to browbeating folks (via text) with negative consequences.
"Browbeating"? "negative consequences"? I'm missing your point here. I've been very clear that
I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else to vote for Biden. Your response to me comes off like you think
I want something from you and you're warning me that I'm not taking the right tone/approach to sweet talk you. I've not the slightest interest in sweet talking you or convincing you to vote for Biden or anyone else. Vote for whoever you, want. I'll take no responsibility for your voting decisions. You (the royal you) can't blame your vote on "
Sommers was mean to me on the internet" GTFOH with that implication. Once again, all I am interested in, is probing what I regard as the logical fallacies, contradictions, etc., in the reasons folks give for voting, or not voting a particular way.
So miss me with "browbeating" and "negative consequences"... please describe to me specifically, what
you want me to say or not say, so I can address that directly.
@Farm Boy gets accused of being vague and enigmatic about the kind of criticism you're giving me here. What I'm offering, is to be very clear and direct with you in my responses but you have to actually take a position, rather than doing what you and other folks constantly accuse Farm Boy of... ie being vague and indirect.
I've got a tip for the party does allegedly didn't want Roe overturned. Codify it next time, or don't run on a platform promising to despite knowing it was apparently never going to be possible
Conventional wisdom was that overturning
Roe was impossible. However, Republican voters didn't say... "
Oh well they didn't get it done so I'm abandoning them." Republican voters kept voting Republican
in the hopes that eventually, they would accomplish their goal. They stuck with it... for the long haul... decades and decades, again
based solely on the promises and hopes that eventually, they would deliver, on the longshot, impossible promise, sometime in the future
. That's what Democratic voters don't seem to be able to do, just based on the anecdotal comments on these threads.
That's fair enough. Don't run on that promise then (would be my advice assuming a couple of posts on the Internet were ever seen by anybody remotely related to this).
Right, that was O'Donnell's point. Democratic politicians can't do what Republican politicians do... ie., set a seemingly impossible goal like say overturning
Roe (or full acceptance of LGBTQ rights) and depend on their voters to keep voting for them, for decades, waiting patiently for the impossible to gradually be made possible. That's just not how the Democrats' voters are currently built. Democrats' voters don't get what they want, lose heart and #abandon... meanwhile the Republican voters stay committed to the long game... and slow and steady wins the race.
