I'm just tired of our side attempting to appeal to basic human decency when it's been more than proven that there isn't any.

Regardless of what you think about my or their vote, you need it. You don't have the luxury of being exclusionary when you're on the losing side and bleeding support.

Republicans were (in theory) on the losing side in 2022 - there was supposed to be a "red wave" that never materialized. They won (again) this time around by fully embracing being exclusionary. Seems to me Dems need to stop trying to attract those people (I think I read that Harris managed to get less than 5% of them, while losing something approaching 15% in Democrat voters), and instead focus on being an exclusionary antithesis to them. If we're going to be a two party system, then make them polar opposites rather than just a lite version of the same side (within practical limits, of course).
