But Democrats also risk alienating middle-of-the-road voters by pushing too aggressively against Trump in a state he just carried. A winning Democratic coalition could hinge not just on energizing the party’s base but also winning over a sliver of disillusioned Trump voters.
There’s that fucking Overton window again.
THAT is why I no longer de facto support the Democratic party. Their national-level leadership is, with the exception of Ossoff, absolutely fucking hopeless and clueless. I have no faith whatsoever that the vast majority of the party apparatus could fight their way out of a paper bag. They’re all just a bunch of spineless, limpdick imbeciles. They don’t hold to any actual principles.
There should be no national parties. That said, when it comes to local politics we should do what it takes to keep the worst people from the levers of power. Whether that means voting Democrat, green, etc. Which ever one stands the best chance winning. But, and this is key; don’t settle for that. No one else is going to save us. It’s just a stop gap. We gotta be the change.
