To me, you embody a lot of the problems I have with the Democratic party. You disingenuously pretend like you're interested in a discussion of the issues only to stop abruptly when you feel you've "made your point", ignore any valid points made by me along the way, and attempt to reduce me to a stereotype that you can easily villify. This reminds me of how the Democratic party pays lip service to progressive viewpoints, but rarely, if ever, acts on them, or the alienating smears of the Clinton campaign of the "Bernie Bro" and the "basket of deplorables", or how the party leadership feels it has the right to tell voters that their votes don't matter (which is an argument that has been made in open court by DNC attorneys). You, like most of the Democratic party, communicate that you feel your viewpoint is the only reasonable one and people can either get on board with it or leave. That perception of attitude is what has caused many voters to abandon the Democratic party. This could all be a miscommunication, but having spoken to several psychologists, sociologists, and communications specialists on the issue, the responsibility for the message communicated belongs to the sender. None of this is meant to be an attack, it's actually meant to help, but I've tried to have this discussion several times with several mainstream Democrats, so I won't be surprised in the slightest when you try to reduce this to some talking point narrative, belittle my viewpoint, and point out the obvious truth that on most issues, Republicans are worse. Being the better of two evils isn't something of which to be proud.
