The reasonable "republicans" who are backed in a corner would probably vote a progressive D if it weren't for gun control.

personal freedom and your right to own a gun are easily sold as progressive values, especially at a national level. Just like pro choice means that someone against aborbtion can try to convince you not to do it but can't legally stop you, the same argument applies to buying guns. There are a dozen more ways to attack the problem and being more progressive means you can advocate better mental health as a fairer and more beneficial solution.

Godholio, I have to disagree with what seems to be your position that being more centrist and non comital will motivate anyone, either left or rational republican, to vote.

Except that in the lines immediately preceding that one, you do exactly what I've been saying. Not railing about guns (there are a lot of people for whom that's their one issue) would go a long way. Not talking poo poo about blue collar works would help, too. These aren't massive fundamental policy changes for the left, but they avoid needlessly alienating people the left needs. The whole structure doesn't have to shift, just shut up about certain things.

Edit: Now I can go back and figure out why the gently caress there are 150 new posts since I went for a lunch break.

Have some Schadenfreude.

I swear I read playboy just for the articles posted:

It’s impossible to estimate how many of Trump’s 63 million voters regret their decision. A recent survey of 800 people by Penn Schoen Berland reported that 11 percent of adults self-identified as Trump Regretters and the president’s approval ratings have backed up that figure rather consistently. ...... Sherri Underwood, a Midwestern woman in her 50s, considers herself an independent but more recently has voted Republican. Underwood regretted voting for Trump almost immediately. Her realization came during Trump’s post-election 60 Minutes interview where he oh-so-casually walked back on his promise to “lock up” rival Hillary Clinton. Afterward, Underwood published an op-ed on Vox titled “I Voted For Donald Trump and I Already Regret It.” The piece was published a mere two days before Inauguration Day.....Now Trump voters are left with a new question: Is this the kind of change they wanted? As more and more Trump voters come forward to voice regret, they’re also facing backlash from frustrated liberals. The majority of “regretters” I messaged for this story declined my requests for interviews because of that very reason. One woman even specified she didn’t want talk to me because she’s already had her fair share of snide comments from angry liberals.

edit: Thinking about it Schadenfreude isn't the right word. Because that's pleasure at other's misfortune. There's probably a german word for, "Pleasure at others being massively disappointed for causing misfortune to happen to everyone in the current population."
