            Run a moderate man and win every goddamn time, like we usually do?

            Hell, we even managed that one with a black dude…whose named sounded like our mortal enemy…twice. Just had to be somewhat in the middle so as to not scare what’s left of the Boomers and X-wits.

            My dude, the Republicans haven’t won an election without cheating since Eisenhower. Literally, not a single one.

            You want to run a far left candidate into that propaganda-bubble buzzsaw, have at it. You’ll lose 40 states, both houses of Congress, and what’s left of our civil liberties, but at least you’ll get to feel smug for 6 months.

              How do you not see this for the projection that it is?

              You’re tacitly acknowledging leftists aren’t in charge. People who think like you, liberals, are. You’re responsible for the outcomes and gestures look at who you’re losing to.

                next time just admit you didn’t fucking read what I wrote and save us all the trouble.

                I literally, fucking literally, explicitly made one point: NOMINATE A MODERATE MAN AND WE WIN.

                Then you go on citing losing to Trump, who beat two fucking women, one of whom is wrongly tagged as a liberal.

                LEARN TO READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT AGAIN.

                EDIT and yes I know what the fuck I am talking about. I have worked for both political parties in my lifetime and gotten people from both sides elected. All in the middle.

                You want a left-wing government? Shift the overton window one election at a time, like the goddamn Republicans did over 50 years. Trying to get that all in one election when it took them 50 years is just unserious, sophomoric logic.
