They can get in the tent and vote D in the general all day…

The problem was neoliberals tried to court hypothetically cross over voters at the expense of the Dem voting base. That’s fucking stupid and a problem. One that the voting members of the DNC rectified a year ago.

But if someone voted trump in the last three general elections and want to vote D in the next, why would anyone talk them out of it?

Let em fucking do it. Just don’t listen to them when they try to guide the party.

They’re gullible and untrustworthy. DINOs.

I don’t give a shit.

Just don’t listen to them when they try to guide the party.

They can vote D all day and I’ll even thank them for voting.

Are you honestly saying you dont want gullible untrustworthy people voting for your candidate in an American presidential election?!

Look at the fucking voter pool bub. If either party had zero of those voters, they’d never win an election.

What are you trusting them with?

For that matter, what does welcoming vs not welcoming even refer to?

Between the post itself, and then the comments… it really looks like the illusion of political discourse has completely replaced political discourse.

Has anyone actually said anything? Has any point been made? Supported? Refuted?

I think the idea is the Democratic party should not be platforming “former” Republicans who are only just now coming around to our side after proudly voting for Trump in the last three elections and supporting their racist and fascist agenda. They are, at their very core, the same disingenuous and spiteful people who are leaving a sinking ship.

What people do in the ballot box is their own business, but the best way for Republicans who truly do feel like they were betrayed or deceived by Trump is not for them to apologize and prostrate all day, but for them to take actions that set the course to make things right again. Performatively switching teams and getting championed by the left as being some kind of noble spirit sends the same kind of distasteful message as Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney going up on stage together.
