    Yeah, plus a lot of people in the Democratic party are more comfortable going after Ilhan Omar and protesting college students than their Republican friends, so the counter messaging has been totally incoherent and confused and that’s gotta be helping Trump’s poll numbers a bit

      And quite frankly, among (young) progressive people, getting attacked head-on by Trump is somewhat more predictable and less emotionally taxing than getting backstabbed and gaslighted by liberals.

      Which is why a lot of them didn’t vote for Kamala.

      I don’t yet know where the American political realignment will end, but the liberal/progressive coalition that elected Clinton, Obama and Biden seems to be irreparably damaged.
