MODERATORS
This is a weird meme. The Democrats actively tried to court suburban white voters and other traditionally right-Leaning demographics. They tried to peel Republicans off. The democrats never offered socialists a cup labeled "liberalism", they offered "moderate republicans" a cup labeled "Border Control and Bush era political icons" and they said "Bro. I already told you I will only ever vote for Republicans".
> Democrats: Run most leftist administration in the history of the country
> Democrats: Pass law after law and EO after EO that are a wishlist of progressive and leftist policies
> Democrats: Put officers from the most famous leftist movement in a century in high and visible positions of power in the government
> Leftists online: We never get anything by voting for Democrats they have betrayed us and move to the right constantly
TBH, it's long past time for the Democratic Party to actually start ignoring the fringe left and work for the American people.
If that is really the path forward the y'all need to peel off ~~almost a sixth~~ about a tenth (Math is hard) of the Republican's Presidential election year voting base while simultaneously not losing any additional support on the social democratic left wing of their own party. I'm not sure that's realistic.
