Political Chat Thread - All Topics & Rants Welcome
Lots of posters on here absolutely certain that the default Democratic constituency is moderate and requires a moderate candidate. Those posters make a lot of good points, but what those posters never acknowledge is that the electoral difficulty they claim is due to a moderate swing constituency, is in large part a result of moderate establishment Democrats corruption and ineptitude.
Point is - you can’t use past Democratic campaign results as a measuring stick for the future, if those past candidates were picked for their ability to raise money, and their campaigns were run by grifters. It’s far too convenient for moderates to deny the viability of progressiveness without addressing the political ineptitude tied to moderate politics.
