1/ If the Dems blow this election it will not be because they were "too far left on policy" or because they "weren't left enough." It will have little to do with policy at all. They are making a mistake caused by traditional consultant theory that does not apply here...

(68,667 posts)MFA which is not popular if private insurance goes away...you nominate someone who can win period. You don't pick a candidate that has little chance and then try to sell it to the electorate. You will surely lose any election this way.

(3,283 posts)The thread specifically starts with saying they won't lose by "not being leftist enough" or by "being too leftist." It's not about that at all. This isn't about Biden vs. Warren or Booker vs. Castro or any of that. It's a roadmap for -whoever- wins the nomination, about what -has worked- in the past against white supremacist David Duke. It's a strategy, not a candidate.
It's about not normalizing all of the racism, totalitarianism, fascism, nepotism, sexism, and xenophobia in the current administration by not talking about it. It's about shining a light on all of that to make sure that those people who somehow can't see the difference between the current GOP and the Democratic Party get to see for real what the GOP stands for.
