    Maybe dem voters want something that is not Republicans. Maybe Dems could, you know, not be Republicans, if they want votes at least.

    Maybe bragging about an endorsement by the embodiment of absolute evil, the Lord of the nine hells, the architect of imperialist nightmares beyond human comprehension Dick Cheney and his equally evil daughter or whatever the fuck happened that caused Liz Cheney’s entering of this plane of existence, was a bad idea.

    Nah it’s the citizens who are wrong.

      They have very successfully cast AOC and Bernie as radical “crazy” leftists, and in doing so have pushed themselves further right to build a divide between democrats and whatever name of the week they give those two. When AOC was first elected, I honestly thought she was the future of the party. Now we’re here and she’s not even really considered part of it, just an outsider

        Dems keep trying to move right in the futile attempt to capture red votes. They don’t understand that the moderate right has more in common with the far left than the moderate left.
