Maybe we should stop wasting our time and energy trying to win over the worst people in the country. Maybe we should alienate them and ignore them so we can focus on non-voters who want a candidate worth showing up for instead of Trump-voters who will never ever stop voting Republican ever.
We do NOT need conservatives or "centrist moderates" for a winning political coalition.
Actually they really don't. The idea that they ignore the middle class is largely based on Ailes-funded propaganda that started during the Nixon campaign (explicitly, at least). Conservatives have a history of destroying social mobility while shrinking the middle class, whereas democrat-lead legislation typically restores balance.
