A word of advice about controlling the Democratic Party message

[Uponthegears]

11. On a more concilatory note

I am appalled that a majority of this country voted for a man who used his power and wealth to coerce sexual favors from women. It's disgusting.

Unfortunately for me (and I am guessing almost everyone else), I completely missed what Trump was doing by marching out the Paula Jones brigade. I thought it was some over-the-top misogynistic message about Hillary not having the ability to control Bill, so how could she control the country (which I figured would actually offend every thinking person on the planet). I was dead wrong. It was about whether a man who uses his power to coerce women for sex is unqualified to be president. In other words, it was about Trump, not Hillary.

I would hope all of us would answer that question "Of course such a man is totally unqualified," but the fact is that many of us (particularly older voters) did not give that answer during past elections.

The fact that we should be damned for that silence obviously does not in any way justify damning ourselves yet again. It does, however, suggest that the message that Trump is a sexual predator might have been better received if it were presented as a chance for our redemption. (Apologies for the religious allusions).

We are on the same side.

Edited to add (NOT A MAJORITY, not by 2.8 million+ voters, only a majority of electoral votes)
