Moving further left absolutely will not get more votes.

Maine has had ranked choice voting for a decade now, if they really think going full Bernie Sanders gets them votes, then why were they not able to beat Collins back in 2020? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Un...

I think the climate has changed, Collins used to be an irritant, now she has drunk the koolaide. And the country is really pissed at our king.

So just doing Republican lite again will energize people? No give progressive policies a platform like universal healthcare. You stand up for everyone. You have to give a real difference of choice here. You say no to genocide rather than both candidates allowing it to continue. You go for big stuf

It’s not about “energizing people”. It’s about winning which will not happen unless they can pull more independent voters.

Which doesn’t happen by courting people like the Cheneys. Focus on getting leftists and progressives because frankly anything else is just right of center if we’re talking globally

They need to focus on getting lost voters back. Namely Latinos. That won’t happen with farther left policies.

Why? Do they not also deal with medical debt?

Do Latino and Hispanic voters not also deal with medical debt? How would more progressive policies like that not attract more people?

How many times you gonna ask same question? They should but look at the lost voters.
