Ironically, MAGA tends to make fun of people who drive Teslas.

You’re completely out of context to the debate I’m having. Go pick this fight with someone else.

Does he position himself to do more for trans if he were to run and win? Plainly speaking, do we want the fight or the victory? If we win we can do more from the inside. I hope you have a great weekend. Truly.

Making everything black and white and pigeonholing him is contrary to thing you’re asking him not to do. Lastly, zoom out and ask yourself if he can support trans and disagree with a facet of it, which makes him accessible to more people, whether they’re right or wrong…

But think about this, your exercising your right to have an opinion as is he. I don’t agree with your assessment, but I bet I’d find a lot of things about you that I do like and do support.

Driving on the left side of the road, do you hate everything about England? Cigarettes, do you hate everything about a smoker? Booze, hate everything about drinkers? I could go on endlessly. It would be nice to live in your world of neat little boxes that everything fits perfectly into.

If you don’t agree with: Islamic terrorists, do you hate all Islamic or Muslim culture or people? Israel blowing up Palestinians, do you hate everything about Jews? Hamas attacking Israel, do you hate all Palestinians? Granny’s that are afraid of burly motorcyclists, are all motorcyclists bad?

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Oh boy. I didn’t make an argument, I asked a question, “help me understand the reasoning.” And therein lies the problem. It’s obvious you’ll perform mental gymnastics all day to not answer the question. That’s fine. I’ll humor one last time here, then I’m going to spend my time elsewhere.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Then you try to put the onus on me to prove your point with some magic chart that I’m to draw up for you. From your response I’m left to assume you live in a “this or that” world. I asked a genuine question, you attacked. You’ve fail to actually engage. This is an example of why we (dems) lose.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

You answered a question with a question, but not with curiosity. You deflected and try to have some passive resistance in order to have a “gotcha” moment, which tells me you don’t have an answer. Your point is bouncing around, using a granny as an example as well as shifting from trans to racism.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

I didn’t think you’d have an actual answer.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

His personal opinion on one trans point makes him fully anti-trans? Help me understand the reasoning.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

I hope that’s the case. I’m sure they’ll find a way to tie to a liberal agenda.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Their base doesn’t care. They just want to feel like they’re being heard. Which is another thing we (dems) keep missing.

120

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

They speak to the level their base comprehends. Middle America and rural voters are deer in headlights when talking tech or global economics. It’s not important to them. That’s where we (dems) lose the plot and then lose elections.

We don’t listen. We judge & preach, and call it teaching. We push too hard in the wrong direction and not enough where we have similarities. Why did Dems ignore the struggles of middle America, instead shoving social initiatives down their throat and call them entitled? Big miss. Big loss.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

You’ll find the majority of these folks are moderate and don’t want anyone to suffer. We can’t just keep saying they’re awful if they don’t agree with us. We’ll keep pushing them further away. Seek the same understanding we want.

000

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

These topics alienate middle America, who we need to win. If we can’t win, we can’t create lasting change, just more arguments. I want a world where these ideas are self-evident and prolific. Find the bridge, then ask others to cross, don’t throw them off the edge for not grasping what we grasp.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

Getting caught up in this begs one question. Do we want the fight or the victory? Seems just the fight and if that’s the case we’ll keep handing wins to republicans. Everyone should be allowed to be who they are or would like to be. I fully support LGBTQ+. And that support is easier when we win.

Who are democrat leaders looking at as a potential 2028 candidate?

Dems are lost. There’s no coherent messaging or anything to unify around. They just keep banging on the same slogan of “fascism and end of democracy.” Yeah, no shit. They need to put up a 2028 candidate now. Someone who can square up to Trump and reach middle America. And sorry, it’s not Kamala.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Subsidies, absolutely. Blue states fund red states, that’s fact. I’m meaning initiatives like gender, sexual, and racial rights. These folks are likely moderate on those issues, but Repubs capitalize on the fears. Then moderates get pushed to extremes by dems chastising for not fully accepting.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

I agree 100%. But standing and yelling is miles better than messages on pickleball paddles.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

More directly: Wore bright blue/gold to represent Ukraine. Not use a pickleball paddle with useless words. I would have yelled like Al Green did. When Repubs started pointing and yelling, I would have broken all decorum and met them the same. Metaphorically, I’d rather die on my feet than my knees.

4. Choose better allies. Why try to reach middle America voters with celebrities and music stars that have nothing in common with those people. It comes across as a, “look at how cool I am” message. Not a, “look at how a like we truly are.”

210

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

3. Do we need social justice? Yes. But it would have been better to build bridges between common struggles not preach, judge, or demand acceptance of what they don’t understand. Dems couldn’t answer, “How do social initiatives make middle American’s lives better?” So they get preachy.

110

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

2. What do Dems do? Shove social initiatives down their throats and tell them that they’re entitled if they don’t accept something they don’t understand. What do you think will happen? They’re going to go towards what they understand the most in order to make sense of a changing world.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

1. Dems lost the plot a long time ago. They (we) failed to recognize how middle America was really feeling. I’m talking about white middle-class America. They’re struggling financially, emotionally, and politically. They’re losing any resemblance of a promised future everyday. They feel abandoned.

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Hold your hostility, Janet. I’m on your side. Your reaction is an illustration of the problem within the party. What do I mean? Judgy. You’re not seeking to truly understand, you’re seeking to have a “gotcha” moment where you feel superior. What would have done? Never let it get to this point. 🧵

Brian Barclay @brianbarclay.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Dems are lost, disorganized, and lacking gumption. If there was any reason to fear their response the GOP would not have walked all over them last night. It’s embarrassing.

My family changed its course. Instead of buying, we give. Everyone takes the money they would spend, pools it, and we draw names for a charity submitted by each person. Money goes to them.

I recall a bunch of red hats saying, “infringement of first amendment rights will result in exercising the second amendment.” Where they at? Oh, they meant freedom to be racists, not free speech. 👌 Make no mistake, your second amendment is on this list. Dictators can’t have an armed public.
