I’ve said this so many times I’m nearly blue in the face, but even rural Democrats don’t want moderate policies.
The only people calling for moderate policies are Republicans — Democrats get scared when they hear them say we should be more moderate. Don’t. Swing left. Swing hard.

my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...

Press them on that, and watch them scatter.
Sociopathic-ish
Ineffective centrism had led to fascists gaining complete control of government and now American children are being deported.
I want to see people who resigned rather than work for TrumpCo run for office.
they aren't actually Dems, instead trying to fill the void of Reagan republicans. but they aren't really committed to anything
that's why Bernie stirred people ... what he was doing was important to him
Republicans want the Dems to be Republican Lite...only compromise the Left...never compromise the Right's positions.
They want dignity. Somehow that has been propagandized into an extreme leftist agenda, why?
D policies POPULAR👇🏼

When you recruit a former Trump supporter you gain a net two votes, 1) one less vote for Trump 2) one more vote for Dems.
The math is simple.
Even rural Dems don’t want moderate policies - they want a backbone

Chasing those voters is a massive waste of time and resources.
Left went to far and now they are fixing it. Holding the middle and serving the majority is where the win is.

I get what you're saying, but I disagree as an overall strategy. I'm a former Republican. Swing too hard left and you'll lose voters you need. That's just math.
Big fan of you, btw! Thanks for fighting!
It's the same effect as "self-deport". It's a shaming tact, and it worked.
They win no matter what when everyone believes their crap.
ASSERTIVE, no-nonsense, sensible, smart, effective, direct, honest communication that reflect the policies that need to be similarly, solidly assertive.
A moderate left policy is one that matches a right wing policy.
Simple.
The right goose-stepped away.
It's always, "Dems need to embrace GOP policies."
