Same shit about teaching across the aisle to win swing voters. Even when presented with research and polling showing this strategy doesn't work, they refuse to budge.
The only way to break through is to try and convince them that they have a rigid ideology, but it's almost always a losing battle. These people are incapable of self reflection.
It’s all about what will win them the most swing states. Because to them it’s not about just beating trump, they want a massive victory to show the country just how unpopular trump really is. And also you win more congressional seats. Which I can understand, but if you’re back just electing more moderate blue dog democrats, then what is the fucking point?
What are they gonna do? Tweak Obamacare a bit? Raise taxes on the rich by 5%? Raise the minimum wage a little bit? We need more than just token reform.
This is the logical end result of a party whose culture emphasizes credentials fetishism, norms respecting, and demobilizing their base.
