    27% of the US voting base is Democrat. 43% is centrist.

    Do you lean hard to progressive politics and abandon independents or do you try and capture centrists and hope that your voting base understands that the opponent is a literal fascist?

        Didn’t really answer the question…but okay.

        Hindsight is 20/20.

        If we run a full progressive candidate we will also for sure lose. But at least we’ll all feel warm and fuzzy inside that we picked a wonderful candidate. It’s a knife edge, if we want to only pander to our base, we will for sure lose support of many centrists.

          You were told this before the election, repeatedly. You can invoke hindsight

          If we run a full progressive candidate we will also for sure lose.

          The last time the Democrats tried, they won a super majority
