I think it’s tempting to blame democrats, and I've seen a lot of it. They failed to win and now we have this. The money and conservatives were behind Trump, and maybe some cheating. Four million people voted for Biden and somehow couldn't transfer that to a black woman. 

I want to get out of this chaos, then steady democrats pattern, I want the democrats to shake up things from the left. 

Should democrats lie? Express more hate?

People vote for democrats out of vision, kindness, a critique of capitalism, a sense of justice.

People vote for Republicans out of the hope for lower taxes (false), smaller government (false, just different) and the sense that those lies are the right vision. They are highly sensitive to Democrat lies, which as someone with a left bias, I don’t see.

Two people said to me they don’t see a difference between how Obama was enriched than the way Trump was enriched, between the grifts of Biden and the grifts of Trump. The immigrants who play soccer in the park like Trump. The AA people in one of the meetings I went to thought Trump followed through on, don’t see his promises to build a wall or lower egg prices as tricks and lies. The Polish-American mother in the park said to ignore the sieg heils. The Albanian born mother, to justify wearing no masks, said that we are allowed to have guns in America. A Ukrainian born mother says that most immigrants just don't know what's going on in America. She's not persuaded by democratic rhetoric, doesn't seem to be outraged by what's going on. Another Polish born mother canceled her trip to Poland because of the problem with air safety going on.

My Afghan born friend monitors Muslim topics, feels for the Palestinians, showed me a video about how it's just about erasing Gaza. I agreed. Israel would rather look bad to the world, than be bombed within their own country. He thinks this will last forever, but I told him things died down in Ireland. It's possible to mature past constant waring. 

Most people are non-political. Most people don’t lean do more or do less, the just want what is obviously right, though articulation is wanting. A Venezuelan born mother feels they wrecked her country, but that health insurance is a basic right, and that wouldn't wreck up the country. 

The will of the people is inchoate. But mistakes and problems and waste are obviously not good. Of course when you do things, there are always mistakes. A democrat accepts mistakes, and a republican says, "see, there, you shouldn't do anything." It's the classic it do something or don't do something. 

The republicans are men of action, and it's weird they're so allergic to governmental action. They prefer the law of the jungle. 

I don’t think Democrats should lie, because their vision is integrity and justice. Democrats should include conservatives in their administration like Lincoln had a team of rivals. 

Many democrats are howling at the betrayal of the working class. It's true, I think Clinton could have been a republican, and Schumer seems to have turned to the dark side. Both New York senators voted for the corrupt slush fund, so Trump can steal more, and not be bound by past legislative mandates. AOC is the best voice, Sanders is great too, but he's old and Jewish and AOC is a hispanic woman, so neither are going to sweep the nation. Mark Kelly is heroic, white and male. There are others. This may be cynical, but I'd prefer a centrist man to a far right wing man. Vance has no popularity and Trump is a rare phenomenon, and his popularity doesn't transfer to his children or anyone else.

Criticizing democrats from the left is useless. Most political commentary is useless, except where it creates understanding, and not just wish statements. I wish all day things were different, hasn't done me much good, mostly makes me upset. I'm not going to turn off, I'm going to keep hanging in there.

My biggest question is why, since a conservative doesn't like the federal level, that they are tolerating a bully at the federal level?
