So I've been spending some time today on reddit. Mostly to receive my daily sodium intake, but also trying to console some the the disenfranchised Bernie Bro's. It's kinda admirable how many reject the 'vote blue no matter who' garbage being pushed in a lot of threads. While dumb as bricks, they do stand by their convictions.
While light-years apart on many issues, they're more like us than they might want to admit. Mainly due to a mutual hatred of the establishment/swamp.
I know it's been done before in 2016, but if any of y'all engage with these people, try to empathize while also emphasizing the fact that shifting their vote to Biden is actually a huge step backwards.
I'm not saying we try to adopt all these lunatics, but they're utterly shell shocked from last night. It's a rare instance of the reddit echo chamber being shattered, so many are susceptible to a red pill or two.
Any thoughts?
Well put! You're absolutely right, it's much easier to let them stew in their anger (stirring occasionally).
Just reinforce infighting and their disdain for the 'vote blue no matter who' meme, and hope they'll run with it!
