discussion Three comforting lies Democrats need to stop telling themselves about November

Fact of the matter is Democrats would rather lose in a way that feels comfortable than win in a way that feels unprecedented.  
 

They say, “this is the most important election of our time”; “democracy is on the ballot”; “if Trump wins in 2024, there will not be an election in 2028".  Yet they themselves don't believe this by their actions.  Their actions say that this is your average run of the mill election and if they don't win, it's fine, they will get ‘em next time.  
 

On the other hand, If Democrats truly believed their rhetoric, then their actions suggest that they are ok with the possibility of a Trump win.  And tell me a more ripe example of the privileged individuals running the party that they are comfortable with a Trump win.

Democrats should stop being scared to LEAD! They are scared that they will be called "DICTATORS" because they are not bipartisan   they need to wake the F up and start acting, making choices and stop trying to please everyone…. That's when democrats will win
