    Exactly. Trump didn’t win by courting centrists. He energized entirely new voters (albeit with racism).

    Democrats insist that perpetually leaning further into corporatism and imperialism and abandoning marginalized groups like trans people and immigrants will win the “likely voters”.

    A real winning strategy would be to have policies that actually inspire people and turn out new voters.

    That would assume they actually want what they say they want though, instead of being controlled opposition.

      Really it’s corporate Democrats trying to court corporate donors. It has close to nothing to do with this being the policy to win over voters. Imo, it’s why the corporate Dems need to be primaried out by progressives.

      A corporate Dem is still a marginally better than having Republicans in office, only because they’re focused on personal greed rather than personally causing the pain.

        Indeed. Gulags of work are more inclusive with a Dem. The boot is a wide boot crushing everyone.

          Corporate Dems care enough that you’re not starving, but not enough so that you’re not living out of your car or relying on the government for some of your needs. Many of the Corporate Dems probably do care to an extent, but green is what matters most to many so if you have a pulse it’s okay!
