To the editor: A letter author suggests the Democrats need to “be likable” so as to win elections.
Donald Trump gained the election. I assume that signifies that as a substitute of supporting help to first-time residence consumers, small companies and households with excessive child-care prices; as a substitute of supporting girls’s and LGBTQ+ rights; and as a substitute of promising to be an administration for all People, Democrats ought to ban Muslims, continually denigrate girls, 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 constructive marketing campaign that promoted pleasure and optimism.
I nonetheless am shocked 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 pricey.

The structure represents the media we eat, and the content material assembled and curated to suit the world we wish 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.
