And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

Ok. Sure. Myself and millions of others helped get Trump elected.
Hopefully you can figure out how to appeal to us next election.

Right. Need to support everyone, universal healthcare, universal basic income, without religion, no with religion, with feminism, with support for men’s rights, with support for immigration, not too much support for immigration, with support for small businesses, without enabling corporate America, and ranked choice voting, and younger people, more minorities, elect a woman, with more communism, no, more socialism, with consequences for the right, with unity for all and put the past behind us etc etc etc.
We get Trump because some entitled fuckers from every. single. camp. (often with conflicting interests) say “earn MY vote” or go to hell. The straight white cis bible thumping camp is voting as a bloc all the time. This is why D can’t get anything done: there is no sparkling unicorn candidate. Sometimes a little better is all you get. Lefties complain about people on the right being single issue voters, then turn around and single issue don’t vote.
Thanks for the nut punch of a president.
I know you’re memeing, but to be honest, yes, I want a President whose platform is somewhat like what you described. Obviously I disagree with some random parts (i.e. “with more communism, no, more socialism, with consequences for the right”), but for heavens sake, at least the theoretical person running for President above is trying something new. They would get my vote.
This is what the Right is doing with Trump after all, and clearly people like it.
If avoiding the coming hate didn’t appeal to you then why bother?
“Not bothering” means more people not supporting Democrats, which means Republicans getting elected more.
See? I can do DNC logic too. It’s actually your fault Trump got elected.
