      I might, outside of the beef with Harris, that are kinda right. Dem advisors seem to have deliberately sunk the campaign once they took over and they seem to be pushing for another loss by moving even more right.

        Here’s a simpler explanations: DNC is an umbrella party with many different factions. Sometimes they miscalculate, make mistakes, and are raked over coals for it.

        Compare that with RNC. Their voters show up to vote for R no matter what RNC does.

        It’s not DNC management’s duty to go left. It’s the duty of American leftists to push them left and withholding votes isn’t the way to do it.

          Their voters show up to vote for R no matter what RNC does.

          Exactly.

          So, obviously, trying to appeal to them is at best a waste of time.

          The threat to withhold our vote is the only leverage we have to effect change within the party. Of course I’m voing to use it.
