  • I appreciate the response, but I think you're incorrect. This might be the sentiment in your peer group, but it doesn't square with what we always end up seeing play out nationally.

    Rather than celebrating "swatting down" my "idiotic take" I suggest you engage in a bit of self reflection.

    If you think Democrats are losing nationally simply because they're not progressive enough, it's because you do not have a clear understanding of national politics. That's fair though, because it helps to drive home my point, because the bloc of voters who swing elections do not have a firm grasp on national politics, either.

  • "People want progressive policy and couldnt give a fuck who the candidate was."

    I don't think this squares with reality. Democrats ran women against Donald Trump twice, and a boring old white man once.

    I think ignorance runs too deep, and there's a larger swath of "well-meaning" centrist voters who "daggum just know a woman cain't do the job!" than we want to admit.

    And it fucking sucks.
