    democrats don’t need to change, it’s the voters who are wrong

    Why not both?

    It appears to me that not only does the Democrat party need to get better at messaging, but that a very large swath of Americans are also braindead stupid and easily manipulated.

      Well, that’s one take. I’ve worked around a lot of rural Republican voters, and they’re probably some of the most heavily propagandized people on earth. There’s such a a knowledge and information gulf there by design, it’s going to take something huge to break people out of it. True story, I attempted several times throughout my life to get a fair understanding of the situation in Israel, always coming up sort of befuddled except that police states are something I take at face value as bad. This last year has cleared the befuddlement, but feeling good that I had a fair assessment of things before then felt nearly impossible, even with a semi-concerted effort, because of how much bullshit there was on all sides.

      But, I’d wager you don’t need republicans. Trying to flip republicans is moot. They should be trying to get no-voters.
