    This is what happens when anyone that warns someone is sick gets burnt at the stake as a witch.

    When your own party is criticizing the candidate, you need to realize that 17 million more aren’t going to put the effort into complaining, they’re not going to hold their nose and vote.

    They’re just gonna stay home.

    So when the politically active tries to warn the party, it would behoove the party to listen to it’s base.

        Yep, Dems win by increasing turnout, Republicans win by depressing it.

        So Dems campaigning on how great they are wins elections

        Dems campaigning on how bad Republicans are only wins sometimes and usually only if the incumbent is a Republican.

        Unless we make changes we’re gonna switch to rotating every 4 instead of 8, and the moderate Dems allowed to make it to the general will never fix stuff as fast as Republicans can break it.

        The current plan just isn’t working.

            People said that about this election and Kamala still conceded in less than 24 hours…

            If we keep running these half assed opponents to fascism, there’s more of a chance they try to steal it. Because they know moderates don’t have the fight in them.

            They just aren’t worried about republican presidencies.
