    What I said is what got Clinton, Obama, and Biden elected. Not saying it’s a great thing, it’s just reality. Neither party has the base to win on their own, the GoP is a lot closer to being able to do it due to voter turn out rates. So they either chase the middle, or demonize their opponent to get more of their base off the couch.

      Obama was the furthest from center Dem we’ve ran in decades, and he was flipping red states all over.

      What you said just isn’t based in reality, it’s just what neoliberals have been repeating for 30 years over and over and over…

      It ain’t complicated, but I dont think I’ll be able to get you to understand this.
