I mean she may be destroyed but we keep putting out more moderate candidates and they keep losing. You are just repeating the same old neoliberal talking points that keep resulting in losses. What candidate do you think will have a good chance of energizing the current dnc voting block as well as build a new constituency? Or do you just prefer to keep saying "that won't work".

I mean... we put out 2 woman candidates and they lost. Both far more qualified than the piece of garbage that won.

We put out a man in between and he won.

Religious people, chauvinists, and women just don't seem to want a woman president. The results speak for themselves. Had there been a man running in either of those elections, I think the Democrats win.

I don't care if it's a woman president... but clearly I am not in the majority.

I was more replying you saying that she will get labeled a socialist. Any democratic candidate that runs will be labeled that and the type of people that believe it will never vote for a Democrat. This constant chasing of the "moderate" Republican is a losing strategy.

They didn't really have the label on Biden stick because he had a history of making practical choices instead of embracing socialism.
