To the editor: A letter author suggests the Democrats have to “be likable” with the intention to win elections.
Donald Trump gained the election. I suppose that implies that as a substitute of supporting help to first-time residence patrons, small companies and households with excessive child-care prices; as a substitute of supporting ladies’s and LGBTQ+ rights; and as a substitute of promising to be an administration for all People, Democrats ought to ban Muslims, consistently denigrate ladies, make enjoyable of the disabled, promote violence, threaten journalists, promote revenge and name human beings vermin.
Name me loopy, however I imagine the Harris-Walz marketing campaign was not solely “likable,” it was additionally a optimistic marketing campaign that promoted pleasure and optimism.
I nonetheless am surprised that the majority voters voted for hate, violence and divisiveness. I mourn for the lack of the values that this nation as soon as held expensive.

The structure represents the media we devour, and the content material assembled and curated to suit the world we need to occupy.
We sit in entrance of our screens gathering all of the elements we’d like, leaving out any we don’t, and making a stew cooked to precisely the temperature we like.
