How does that make any sense compared to moderates going to the Republican party?
Like, the current Dems are “progressives” who want what every other 1st world country got decades ago, and “moderates” who want what Republicans wanted decades ago…
Why are the “moderates” trying to moderate the Dem party instead of the one that’s so far from center they’re openly fascist?
If they had stayed where they were in the 80s, then the furthest right we’d have been in 2024 was Kamala
Do you understand how ridiculous it is to say everyone to the left of them should go R?
Absolutely best case scenario we end up with two modern Dem parties and that fixes nothing.
But if the moderates go to the Republican party?
They’d get what they want, they can be pro-fracking. They can be for genocide, they can be for politicians using insider knowledge to make millions off the stock market, they can be for the end of political donations regulations.
And have total party unity on all those topics, while moderating the Republicans so they run McCains instead of trumps.
But that’s hard.
And moderates have never been fighters.
The only way they’ll go moderate Republicans, is if Dems kick them the fuck out of running the party.
They did it in 08, they’ll do it again if we get a progressive to the general. It’s not a problem either because we’ll gain waaaaay more votes than we lose.
