minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoI see plenty of mainline dems saying shit like “I’d vote for a literal ham sandwich over Trump”. Why not try to appeal to “the left” (or even just genocide-disapprovers) since your base/moderates are going to vote for you no matter what?
minus-square@FlowVoidlinkEnglish0•edit-22 months agoNot all moderates are Dems. Many are independents. I see plenty of leftists saying things like “I refuse to vote for Democrats”. I see plenty of moderates saying things like “I usually don’t vote the Democrats but this time I will”. It makes more sense for Democrats to appeal to the latter then the former.
