    Yeah, I've been critical of parts of @jwpetersNYT's latest piece but this is a genuinely valuable take-away.https://twitter.com/MarkHarrisNYC/status/1010608148259000320 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    People are going to hate this piece but the takeaway is valuable: Democrats can win only by mobilizing our side, including people who don't often vote in midterms. Trying to shame or convert Trump supporters is a dead end, and not necessary. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/us/politics/republican-voters-trump.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news …

        How do you square this with what has happened in four dozen races this cycle, in which a lot of persuadable voters have voted Democratic?

        I'd make a distinction between marginal Republican voters (who exist!) and the hardcore Trump supporters Peters profiled.

        Right. All it takes is for people to find someone who did not vote last cycle and get them to vote. The people still with him after all this shit will always be with him.

        The real question is: why didn't they vote in 2016? Were they sabotaging the Democratic Party out of spite? Or did they fail to realize what Trump represented? Or was it because of voter suppression efforts? There's no guarantee it won't happen again.

        The slogan on Melania’s jacket should really serve as Trump’s midterm slogan. Trump voters really don’t care one bit about anything.

        Shaming Trump voters does mobilize our side

        So write that piece instead of constantly shining a spotlight on amoral monsters.

        Maybe if the @nytimes would talk to the average democrat as much as they drool over Trump supporters, they would know we aren't trying to convert their beloved article subjects.

        This is not surprising- at least to those paying attention. Trump was right about one thing, that he could shoot someone and not lose support. I know Trump supporters. They are my neighbors; I went to church with them for nearly two decades. They aren’t reachable. Accept it.
