Description
Former President Barak Obama encouraged Democrats to listen to those who disagree with them and fight for the votes of those who have differences with them.
“We start thinking that the only way to win is to scold and shame and out yell the other side,” Obama said. “That approach may work for the politicians who just want attention and thrive on division. But it won’t work for us.”
Obama urged his party not to rush to pass judgment on those with values that are different from theirs, saying, “That’s how we can build a true Democratic majority.”
“Our fellow citizens deserve the same grace we hope they’ll extend to us,” he added.
