I agree that Dems shouldn’t be played like puppets. It’s a balance. But signals matter. You can demonstrate you’re not a crazy leftist puritan without being defensive, I think.

If it helps clarify the balance, someone with an archive of mailouts confirmed these were, bar one or possibly two, all words republicans whined about, not words that democrats used. This is not a game you can win by playing.

In the mean time, trying to prove I am now like my opponent is not actually a great way to get my supporters or my opponents' to vote for me.

Thing is, if we look at a campaign that is actually succeeding at the moment you may notice the guy is only willing to talk about what he *does* stand for, not what he doesn't. As well as staying on topic, this does involve actually standing for things.

Everyone that voted for Trump in 2024 is happy with the outcome, or want to be absolved of their part in his reelection. May they all rot in hell. No amount of coddling by Democrats will convert them to the righteous cause.

So you give up and want to lose? You don’t want to try to win??

No. Kamala Harris was a mainstream Democrat, as was Biden, as was Hillary, as was Obama. What message do you think is going to appeal to Trump voters that won't alienate Democrats?

Harris had one if the most left voting records in the Senate if not the most. Biden governed as the most liberal president since FDR
