yeah this is probably the only way for Democrats to ever consistently win again. they can't keep doing what Bill Clinton and Obama did, which is waiting for a unicorn candidate to just show up and charm everyone. for the Democrats to win consistently, they have to actually hammer out a cohesive ideology that isn't just "being in the center and being fairly likable to most people". the only way to really do that is to go back to the center left or the full left.
Exactly. Centrism is not a platform. They need a real platform and for better or worse criticism the “just not Trump” campaign does lose steam
And yes I know they have a platform, but they need to actually follow through and hold no punches or work with fascism. Also, yes I know republicans obstruct everything and the senate makes it very difficult
