Ironically, both all the centrists and everybody here doesn't realize the median view on Kamala among Democratic voters is "candidate I like and agree with on most things that got a very bad luck of the draw", not super woke leftist _or_ Liz Cheney loving genocidal centrist.

It's something that even Dan Quayle who was basically shorthand for 'bad VP' was actually one of the people consoling Pence not to do a fascism on 1/6.

Again, Trump due to needing political strength not to end up in jail and his own weird personal values is the moderating force in the current White House.

Yeah, if Trump had been impeached and COVID was actually over by summer of 2021 and we had 2016 Biden instead of 2020 Biden, it might've worked.

The scariest thing is for political survival and personal values as scary as that is, Trump is the moderating force in the WH right now. President Vance doesn't take Lockjaw out of Minneapolis.

Hell, I guarantee there are older Establishment Black Democrats who just missed the Civil Rights period who are praying in church daily ICE gets pushed close to their church that acts as a polling place.

Two things can be true -
1.) There were a bunch of annoying clout chasing college kids at Occupy
2.) The anarchists are insanely wrong about any society larger than 50-100 people.

I guarantee McKay has never actually seen the ads AIPAC runs against anti-Israel Democratic congresspeople. Hint, Israel almost never comes up in the ads, but dumb and stupid votes or dumb and stupid things the congresspeople did.

AOC, Omar, and Tilab all managed to do these things and are still in office because they're actually talented politicians and not slightly corrupt, kinda dumb (laudatory), or self-absorbed.

If I was an anti-Zionist Congressperson, I would simply not vote on the same side as right-wing Republicans when it comes to Dem President's spending bills Dems overwhelmingly support, not do dumb or corrupt things, or call the incumbent still popular President a bowl of shit.

Considering even Lula in Brazil faced a smaller version of the same problem, it's not just a woke SJWs in San Francisco issue.

Right, Jon Tester and other centrists are actually right it's easier for low-info swing voters to see views of left-wing people they don't like and associate them w/ the Democratic Party as a whole. It's the Democrats (and other center-left parties) jobs to figure out to win despite that.

I think this has basically just been said openly - the caucus kind of didn't like Reid because he made them vote on hard stuff.

The thing is, Byrd was fine at worst by the 80s to 90s on race - he was still deeply conservative on all other social issues but in a consistent way that wasn't just CW bullshit - opposed a flag burning amendment when your typical 'moderate' would support it.

They have the perfect left-wing parties in countries all over the world and that doesn't result in young people turning out more than older people in those countries either. The reality is for a variety of reasons, fewer young people care about politics than older people beyond the Dems are centrist
