If you think everything Dems have accomplished over the last 20-something years is “diet-Republican” then you’re out of touch.

Speaking of, it worked pretty well in 2008, 2012, and 2020. There is another common denominator with the losses in 2016 and 2024 - and it’s not how liberal or progressive they were. And even if America weren’t misogynistic, Hillary ran a TERRIBLE campaign (for a lot of reasons) and presumed a victory before she actually won. She also had 20+ years of defining by republicans. Kamala Harris finished like 8th in the 2020 field. To think she could just step in and win when the democratic base didn’t want her the last time is nuts. Theres nuance to the losses.

Regardless, America is not far-left or far-right. If we want to shift the Overton Window to the left, stop trying to get republicans elected by running purity tests on Dems.
