    Democrats have been ‘buying time’ for decades, but it’s certain to work this time, right?

      It works every time, time continues to be bought. Most voters are centrist neo-libs, that’s what wins elections. If you want to get something other than buying more time, the onus is on progressives to climb the ladder and show the centrist neo-libs that they have a pragmatically actionable and broadly electable platform.

      I’m all for something more than buying time, but as it stands it’s not popular enough to win. So I’m continuing to vote for buying time until it is.

          Most polls would report this, here’s the first one I found. Most of the middle of that typography spectrum is broadly centrist neo liberalism with relatively minor pet issues.

            I’m not sure that study supports what you’re saying. First of all, it’s from 3 years ago and surveys the general populace, not likely voters.

            But more than that, I’m not certain which groups you’re counting as centrist neo-libs here.

              Some portion of Populist Right down through Democratic Mainstays. A clear majority.

                I wouldn’t count the populist right as centrist neo-libs, no matter how little daylight there is between them.
