How Democrats Can Stop Losing by Being Less Picky

A History of Ignoring Potential Allies

Democrats have a habit of ignoring or dismissing folks who don't fit their idea of perfect. This isn't just about voters, but also about powerful people who might seem a bit odd or difficult.

The Case of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

When his campaign wasn't going well, he tried to talk to the Democrats. But they ignored him. Instead, he ended up talking to Donald Trump. And we all know how that turned out.

A Pattern of Snubbing

It's not just RFK Jr. Democrats have a history of snubbing potential allies.

• Biden ignored Elon Musk
• Kamala Harris didn't go on Joe Rogan's podcast

These might seem like small things, but they add up.

The Importance of Building Relationships

Democrats need to understand that politics is about building relationships, even with people they might not like. It's not about being right all the time. It's about winning.

The Consequences of Not Playing the Game

If Democrats think they're too good to play this game, they might find themselves losing again and again. And that's not good for anyone.
