    That’s a very pessimistic attitude which would certainly mean defeat. Democrats must get a candidate that can win everywhere. Jon Ossoff and Andy Beshear are good choices.

      Democrats must get a candidate that can win everywhere.

      They’ve been trying that for ages. And they keep losing. So they try going even further right. And they lose again.

      Maybe it’s time to try something different. Stop appeasing the centrists. Stop worrying about what the “”““moderate””“” right will think. And try actually taking a step to the left.

        No, they haven’t been going right. Trump made and still make border security a top issue yet, Biden permitted illegal migrants to flood into the country. Harris foolishly said she would do nothing different than Biden despite the GOP strategy of linking her to Biden.

          Okay, first of all:

          Biden permitted illegal migrants to flood into the country

          That sounds more like Fox News than reality.


          And second, there are more issues one can be right or left on than just immigration.

            From https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyn9jwqzy8o

            A year after the BBC last visited the border to understand the impact of the migrant crisis on the border, sites that were once teeming with migrants lie largely silent.

            Just a few years ago, as many as 2,500 migrants once camped outside the city’s historic Sacred Heart Catholic church. Many lined the streets sleeping on donated blankets, idling while they waited for food and water to be distributed by local charities.

            Now, only a handful of parishioners can be seen coming in and out of the church.

            Immigration was made a top issue by Trump because he knew Americans were concerned about border security.
