Former Democratic Alliance senator urges party to divide voters by ‘preaching and teaching’

Amid an autopsy of how President-elect Donald Trump won the election, former Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill pointed to the Democratic Party on Monday.

Last week, Trump’s victory in the electoral college and the popular vote sent shockwaves through the media, as left-leaning columnists ranged from panicking about the future of American democracy to wondering how Trump was able to win over the electorate to fame. vote.

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace spoke to the panel about a recent article from The Grio, titled, “Why Kamala Harris is missing, explained.” One quote in the sequence, referring to Martin Luther King’s dream for America argued, “And if we examine ourselves honestly, we can conclude one thing about the election of Donald Trump in 2024: Black people are the only group in this country that is willing to make the dream come true.

“Oh, I don’t know. Is it okay if I say I’m not sure now?” McCaskill said when asked about his thoughts on the clip. “I’m getting a little bit of a headache from Monday morning’s hard hitting because I think this has to go in.

Although McCaskill agreed with the idea that racism and sexism exist in modern America, he instead highlighted another major aspect of modern politics.

And Donald Trump has done a better job of achieving that through fear and anger than the Democratic Party.”

McCaskill said however, the Democratic Party, as he knows, wants to help those Americans who “play by the rules,” but he clarified that some Democrats have lost touch with voters.

“I know this. I know that now we have to be tough and tough, and we have to be willing to accept people who don’t see the whole story the way we see it. We don’t all have to agree 100% on everything and I think sometimes the Democratic Party has been treading and teaching that people have to feel how about things, whether it’s immigration or the climate or guns,” he said. “Those are the social and cultural issues that Chris Murphy was talking about.”

McCaskill was talking about a cable from Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., argued that Democrats are “still grappling with the definition/intent problem that plagues MAGA.”
