The Vance stuff was almost worse than the Trump post

Because Vance should know better, which is what makes him even more distasteful.

But I don’t just can’t agree with the idea of “if you don’t name Trump, you’ve accomplished nothing.” I think it’s very important that we get beyond Trump and MAGA and explain right and wrong without reference to him or his ilk. Because once his name is invoked, he’s kinda won the attention game that he is playing and the argument becomes more about “why do you hate Trump?” The next successful national Democrat will be someone who can get the country’s attention on policies and values without a syllable referring to Trump. That’s his superpower. He becomes everything the conversation is about.
