reminded me of this good tweethttps://twitter.com/skyw00kie/status/1330239308889018378
https://twitter.com/ShaneGoldmacher/status/1334870858196774917The dems backed all of these milquetoast moderates that they could use to raise a ton of money and not scare suburbanites, and it was by all accounts a failed experiment. In many cases, not Gideon obviously, they lost to non moderate, right wing, MAGA embracing republicans. Do you think the DNC learned anything about this strategy or will we be talking about them losing their very slim majority (If they're lucky) in two years?
non-milquetoast moderates generally did even worse. everyone lost.
No such thing

Bc you look crazy.

Bc you look crazy.No, I'm not, because you continue to oversimplify the conversation. I didn't say a damn thing about "not being liberal enough." I've showed you exit polls more than once that showed many of the issues that corporate dems run from are widely accepted by liberals, moderates, and in some cases conservatives, I won't do it again. I'm not going to waste my time convincing some brain dead anonymous internet poster that speaking to policy other than "we're not MAGA" isn't some far left concept.

kind of a fun quiz you can take to test how well you understand public opinion on a few issues.https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/sanders-poll-quiz/
I was shocked more people support free college than Medicare for all. Was pretty close on the rest.

You were pushing that exit poll garbage in the primaries as the candidate promoting those policies got obliterated by biden.
Anecdotal, jmo I don't think the mixed messages will hurt turnout too much on the R side.
For those of us who don’t follow this stuff what does it mean exactly?
