For starters, I don’t believe we much used logic, facts and appeals for empathy. It felt like we skipped straight to the shaming and condescension.

I don’t know if you’re missing the point intentionally or unintentionally, but nobody has argued that we need to watch our tone with overt racists and abusive assholes. The argument is that we shouldn’t treat every Trump voter as if they’re racists and assholes.

The bigger picture is how to sweep the midterm and win in 2020. That will only happen by winning converts, and I’m not sure a single convert has ever been won by “shaming people for the their small mindedness.” We tried that for the last year and it failed spectacularly.

I’ve read your comments for a long time, so I know you’re super smart. But, this kind of thinking is dangerously reductive.

Shitty post. Shitty response.

It’s pretty amazing. I’m ideologically aligned with Jezebel 90% of the time (and Breitbart 0%), but I almost can’t read the comments here, anymore.

Jezebel comments are starting to sound more like Breitbart comments, every day.

Hey, everybody! This guy is rich!!! Awesome, right???

See, this is the problem, and why we lost. The assumption by everybody on the left that everybody on the right is racist and the condescending attitude we took towards them.

“THEY are the shitheads. They are the ones who deserve all the scorn and hatred.”

Trolling liberal websites? C’mon.

I feel like this video would be much better if it was set to “I Feel Pretty” from West Side Story.

Except, the whole“Berniebro” thing was manufactured out of whole cloth as a campaign tactic.

Nor did I ever claim it did.

“Oh fuck that noise. I didn’t cause them to do one single fucking thing. They are adults, every single one of them, and chose their own path.”

You’re right that they don’t deserve your respect, but if we want a different outcome in 2020, we need to find a more effective way to communicate with the other side.

You seem to have absolutely no self-awareness.

I voted for Clinton.

The race is over and you’re still doing it.

Eh, I can’t tell. He may be out, but it’s also possible his heel simply crossed the plane of the sideline once it lifted and pivoted inwards as he tried to steer himself towards the middle of the field.
