So?

What matters is winning elections.

Stomping our feet and saying they should do what we tell them isn’t fucking working.

So if you want them to vote D so together we can stop Rs…

Maybe we should try running a better candidate than we have been?

Maybe no matter how much the wealthy insist on it, just being slightly better than trump isn’t enough.

Maybe we should just run the best candidate we can, one that already agrees with Dem voters so we don’t have to ask millions of people to hold their nose?

The excuse for running candidates further to the right then Dem voters has always been that it would magically win an election.

It hasn’t, and it won’t.

It’s a bad strategy and we’ve stuck with it for about a decade longer than we should have already.

What logical reason can you give to stick with a plan that even when it works doesn’t get us as much as we need, and fails regularly?

As a bonus, the more Dems move right, the more Republicans do.

So every election Dem voters have their potential winnings reduced and potential loses increased…

And people are really surprised why turnout was low?!
