So in other words, the WaCompost is basically just preaching to the choir with the article-people who would never vote for trump regardless?
The Washington Post comments section is usually very liberal, but I do see some people hitting back, but they are getting nasty remarks by liberals. No point in dealing with it. I could present all these refutations, and it would make zero difference to the left. You are right, though, that by being so liberal they may drive away many of very people they are trying to reach. Thus, they are in effect, preaching to the choir. Maybe they will reach some independents, but the conservatives who are replying see it for the propaganda it is.
Politics of denigration and division have been a liberal staple.
Trump is doing nothing of the kind.
I guess they didn’t see the convention the way the rest of us saw it.
