I have kids in US history right now...I can assure you they know Lincoln a Republican freed the slaves...again excuses for the 2008 losses. We lost because most people don’t believe Roe VS. Wade will ever be overturned and have no idea of what a conservative is...yelling at them and insulting them will not win their votes.
The only "excuses" for the 2008 losses are:
A) A significant percentage of the electorate that cast their ballot solely on the basis of one particular candidate's skin color. And,
B) A GOP candidate at the top of the ticket who generated no excitement among his own party by reflecting the "Let's go out and appeal to the moderates and liberals" attitude that I see here.
Our weak nominee attempted to live in the middle, tried to please uninterested critics, and got stuck on the fence right where it hurts. It's our move AWAY from Reagan that lost the election...
yelling at them and insulting them will not win their votes
The truth may hurt sometimes, to you that sounds like yelling, only because you disagree.
