I don't think you can make your tent bigger if the groups you're trying to appeal to(nativists/transphobes) turns off the activist base of your party. You just tried a soft version of this last year and lost for a 2nd time to a racist gameshow host with like 500 felonies. What the fuck are you doing - ThreadSky

It's crazy to think that adding people who actively hate your base to your tent is good politics. The racists/ transphobes will always vote for the uncut shit in the Republican party and view Dem outreach as unserious.

Clearly, you don't understand that the republican outreach that netted fewer votes last election than the one before is actually a good strategy.

You're right. We need to expand our tent in the interest of getting even less votes than before. Let's get Mitt Romney in the ticket for 2028 🥳

They think "winning in the marketplace of ideas" is something that is possible

They're paid off. Literally. Of course they're not going to offer a viable alternative.

I honestly don’t think there is any way for Dems to make our tent bigger. I think that’s the problem…but also the solution.
You can’t appeal to a liberal Jewish population by calling for the defeat of Israel. (As an example)
BTW I think the real problem is NOT the big tent but the propaganda.

It's controlled opposition, dude. Whether these Dems are actually this credulous and believe their consultants who work both sides, or are working both sides themselves, they are complicit with the fascists and work to fulfill their agenda.

You cannot have an inclusive tent with exclusionists in it.

Gotta do something when progressives fail to vote and let a horrible candidate when rather than build coalitions like they did in France, Germany and Poland. How can we trust ya'all when you can't work together??

They genuinely think anyone to the left of Schumer is an evil communist and that the far right are just “misunderstood good ol boys.” It’s not the entire party but enough of the party is at least spineless enough to do whatever the first group wants

Probably shouldn't be surprising that an apparatus run by boomers and gen x people are trying to turn the party into the 90's GOP.

And how does this even work in practice? Just cede ground to transphobic discourse? Prove your critics right that Dems are weak willed? Wonderful plan.
