    Yes, I am the only one who holds the secret knowledge that… checks notes democratic voters don’t like republican policies.

    I don’t need to cite anything because this is so painfully obvious.

      Democratic voters demonstrably want something lukewarm liberal-centre. We know that because of the primaries numbers as a whole, and a bunch of smaller elections.
      Loud people on social media want all sorts of things but they remain on social media, the fact that is demonstrated time and time again.
      And the fact that this is not obvious to everyone is the real pain here. The lain we all will be feeling for the next unknown number of years.

        The median voter is a myth. There is no democratic voter who will vote for complicated, means-tested subsidies for private insurance, but will refuse to vote for free healthcare.

        The voters who vote for luke-warm dems will vote for who they’re told to vote for.
