You’ll never solve any issue by trying to trick voters by running as an independent and you’ll never move Republican voters by giving them the same talking points expecting and them to mark a ballot for a Dem. It has never worked in my lifetime.

Yes! It was so exciting when Harris picked Walz, and then so depressing when she dumped him for Cheney.

Republicans are allergic to the letter “D.” Why don’t Democrats ever realize that?

I hate that part, but it’s not false. I literally saw a bumper sticker on a truck at my kids middle school that said “Dads against Daughters Dating Democrats.”

If Democrats would have condemned big money in politics, fight corporate welfare, and unrig a market that’s been rigged in favor of big corporations and the rich, Trump’s absurd bogeymen (the deep state, immigrants, socialists, trans people, diversity-equity-inclusion) wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Clinton pulled it off but those were different times, the right is radicalized now after decades of Fox News.

It definitely was a different time. I am originally from Arkansas and my Trump voting mom loved Clinton and voted for him twice.

Instead, be the party that actually takes care of people to the very best of its abilities, that is driven by merit and equity, to reduce social inequality. What people really need…

Democrats have spent my entire life fighting for some tiny sliver in the middle. When there’s an entire army ready to be mobilized to the left of center, that’s been ignored and called radical our entire lives, that’s tired of seeing this pandering to a tiny right center sliver.

Yeah Kamala tried appealing to the center with Never Trumpers, you see how that worked out. Not enough Republicans would pull the Democratic lever. They're party over country.

There’s not a tiny sliver in the middle. If there were, no one would be worried about it. No one is ignoring the left. We had a progressive president who got a lot of great shit done who the progressive left often refused to support.

They lost the tiny sliver in the middle which is why they lost every single freaking swing state by that small sliver instead of trying to engage new voters on the left like the right did on their side.

Are you talking about the “progressive president” that continued to fund a genocide? They’re worried about that tiny sliver in the middle because they can’t/won’t talk about what a huge swath would vote for…universal health care, tax the rich, cut military spending by 30%, I could go on and on.

You obviously don’t understand why Kamala lost and we’re in this situation. It’s 100% because they abandoned the left and tried to court disillusioned conservatives. She campaigned with LIZ FUCKING CHENEY! She refused to separate from Joe. They moved right and left progressive voters behind.

But as an outsider I can’t understand the idea that someone with leftist Democratic ideals might a. Not vote or b. Vote for trump. The left fighting itself gives the right victory. Simple.

Stop being an idiot. Why the fuck does it make you leftists mad that Liz Cheney endorsed her ??? Cheney didn’t affect one POLICY. LC and her father apparently have more honor than you do bc they put country over party/politics. fuck off

They don’t show up. That sliver of middle shows up and elects my rural democrat. Might be a reason Jess loses and mine wins.

Jess' post misses that "the center" is kind of a mythological thing & it's really muddied when Bernie & Trump have said similar things about tariffs, & Democrats from districts where jobs depend on fracking buck the party.

There's a "we support individual rights" message all Democrats need to lean in on in the face of bad faith repub attacks like trans athletes. The basis of the attack- "boys will declare they're trans to win against girls" is just pure bullshit.

Democrats put too much faith in "stare decicis" and believed the lies of EVERY confirmation hearing! The fact a president appoints a conservative is a sign they're rigging the court.
