So, is there any candidate you won’t retroactively call a centrist in order to justify moving even further to the right from where the party is now?
You are so married to the idea of moving to the right and only the right that you are unwilling to admit that the situation has changed. In the last three elections (I know, in your mind it’s still the 90s and nothing has changed, but humor me) we have run three centrist candidates. Two lost, one won but it was a squeaker.
Moving to the right and only the right has hit a wall. You’ll advocate for it forever, regardless of the actual political reality. After all, the alternative is a nightmare hellscape where people are paid a living wage for their labor and healthcare is more than a means to extract every last dime from people before they die.
harris lost in 2024. clinton lost in 2016. biden barely squeaked by in 2020.
It’s been 12 years since democrats’ last decisive victory. Keep running to the right. It’s still the 90s, after all. I knew you would never acknowledge that moving to the right is a losing strategy.
Obama won by running to Clinton’s left.
This is still centrists which is why he won.

I’m not advocating for the move to the right. Just pointing out it is a result of low leftists voter turnout.
Then acknowledge that it has failed.
If it is what the voters voted for then it has not failed.
And you think they voted for it?
Let’s see if you can stop pretending it’s still the 90s.
How do you think our politicians were elected?
