    Jon Stewart isnt Republican but Republican voters fully understand and agree with many of his viewpoints.

    It is possible to have reasonable conversations and discussions with people regardless of their political views.

    The question becomes what does the Democratic Party have to do enough to convince people to trust and vote for them ?

    A simple example would be the multiple rigging of the Democratic nominee against Bernie Sanders, while RNC does exactly the same kinds of rigging, DNC tried to make themselves seem holier-than-thou and did the exact same things as the RNC.

    Guess why so many voters don’t truly believe in elections and “hate”-vote for Drumpf ???

    Have good policies and reasonable expectations while keeping almost as many election campaign promises as possible. RNC delivered on their promises by strutting out strawman shit like “Build-the-Wall” … their real purpose was to defund the support networks for immigrants.

    Where is the Dream-Act that guarantees citizenship after Military service ??? If the DNC can’t even do their most basic levels of campaign promises, everything sucks and Drumpf wins.

      Jon Stewart may get some Republicans to agree to points, but it hasn’t changed the Republican Party. If anything, the party has gotten worse.

      And if you are going to bring up Bernie Sanders, Bernie has said good things about Joe Biden and endorsed Joe back in April. Other progressive Democrats have also endorced Biden now.

      And if you are going to compare the Dream Act to building a wall, there are different voting procedures in spending money versus other laws. And I can’t expect a party to do everything on their platform; it is historically rare to get perfection.

      When you explain policy to Republican voters that includes education spending, healthcare spending, environmental protections, and supporting Veterans, most Republican voters agree that those are all good things, even though they’re the opposite of what Republican policy prescribes.

      What I’m trying to say is most people who vote R have no business voting R because they don’t grasp basic political theory.
