    And then they cry when their base doesn’t show up, so pick one. Do you want your biggest supporters to vote for you or to you want someone that might support you. Pick one

      That want their biggest supporters to vote for them.

      But leftists are not their biggest supporters. Moderates are.

        I see plenty of mainline dems saying shit like “I’d vote for a literal ham sandwich over Trump”. Why not try to appeal to “the left” (or even just genocide-disapprovers) since your base/moderates are going to vote for you no matter what?

          Not all moderates are Dems. Many are independents.

          I see plenty of leftists saying things like “I refuse to vote for Democrats”.

          I see plenty of moderates saying things like “I usually don’t vote the Democrats but this time I will”.

          It makes more sense for Democrats to appeal to the latter then the former.
