I phone banked for Harris but she was making our jobs harder by taking unpopular positions. What will you have me say to the voter who won't vote for a Newsom presidency because they take AIPAC money? Because I was told to just move on and call the next person.
Again, you are allowed to say the CCP does not respect human rights as defined by the west, they will openly agree with that statement and repeat it back to you. But to say the people don't have rights to even say that is inflammatory because it is false.
While it is true he got concessions I would not go so far as to say it strengthens US hegemony. His acts undermine the idea that the US deals consistently with it's allies and will encourage them to value their autonomy over current global norms.
I guess when I say "ask" I mean we run better candidates instead of going with whatever the Democrats decide for us. Expecting people to show up and vote for what they have dished out in the past isn't working. As you said, we will need a multifaceted approach .
