    The DNC would rather lose with a neoliberal than win with a progressive. If they want to get there shit together they have to win with the working class and ordinary people.

    They can’t be elitist centrists. They’ll lose every election if they do. The future is now old man

      If they go further left they lose every moderate or right leaning Democratic voter don’t they? Why would you want your voter base to get smaller

        So is it that leftists are too small a group to be worth making political concessions to, or are they a large enough group to have an effect on elections?

        Why do Democrats feel entitled to the support of the left when they don’t offer anything to the left?
