Wait , Downpour is backwards compatible ? <| sep |> I ' ve done this for a long time . It ' s totally fine . <| sep |> It ' s not like I don ' t have my doubts about where Democrats were wrong . I just think our messaging is where we failed most . We failed to invigorate our base , we failed to capture the hearts and minds of undecided voters , and we failed to tap into the antiestablishment feelings that pervade much of the US which is a message that reaches across the aisle . Sounding like you are right is just as important as being right in politics . Objectively in the scientific and clinical community vaccines are seen as beneficial and necessary part of society but the politicization of that topic drives a significant portion of people to be against them . I honestly feel like a similar phenomenon has taken place . When I take my stand against Trump and what he represents , I believe I ' m using as objective and demonstrable data as I can in the relatively soft science that is politics and social studies . I ' m a pharmacist by trade so I ' m used to looking at less ambiguous data . I don ' t believe the left was wrong for the most part on their claims . I think they just had a less compelling argument . I hope distinction is clear . I don ' t believe politics is truly a game of who IS right , it ' s who SOUNDS right . To be honest , all this talk of accepting Trump , not challenging him , and shying away from our beliefs frustrates me . I ' m sorry if that frustration makes my points unclear but I ' m reminded of this speech from Civil WarKsfXKgAn 20 based on this speech from a Captain America comiccontentuploads 2016053779149 noyoumovecapsays . jpg . 1 I know it may seem a silly thing to draw inspiration from and 2 It is a remarkably obstinate and stubborn position to take . I acknowledge that yet can ' t help feeling the way I do about my beliefs . I honestly think the other side takes the same approach and I respect them for standing what they believe in even if I ' m against it . I hope they prove me wrong because it means we end up with a better country but my conscience is not letting me back away anytime soon .
