their poll for NOW is showing only "25%" feel it "most important". Yet for some reason, our party position has been that it IS supposed to be "the most important" thing, ignoring the fact that people are STILL not "voting for their pocketbooks" but continue to be hoodwinked to vote based on their primordial tribal sense of belonging to some 'in group' against another group, so they can feel "superior" to someone else.

I.e., you have idiots who have now lost much of their farm help, are watching their crops rot in place, with some even filing bankruptcy, yet these same people are STILL spouting nonsense about "Just give him more time".

And if we can't find away around that, then we are screwed. It's a human nature thing and will never be completely solved, but there should be some alternate ways to get the "disinterested" to accept "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Out of many, one), rather than conceding to the RW loons, and throwing the base under the bus.
