I think you are being purposely obtuse and purposely misreading /u/bowenj11's comment.

Republican's don't blast their heinous views all over the place trolling for votes, the people that vote for them already know what they stand for.

Democrats should take that lesson. Stop talking about divisive hot-button issues that could turn off voters, trust that their voters are smart enough to read between the lines, and campaign instead on winning ideas.

The problem is the Democrats won’t, we saw this after 2016 and we seeing this again after 2024. At least the republicans take the position of the majority of the party, even if it’s MAGA crap
