Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?

The Democratic Party’s stance has been to try and absorb disaffected Republican neoliberal voters from the above.

That's a leftist idea that Leftists just made up and are running with due to their own echo chambers. Dems do like capturing centrists, especially now the GOP has gone off the rails, but the coalition is absolutely led by progressives who push progressive policies as much as they can. The theory is to capture disaffected centrists and win them over with clearly superior Democrat policies and positions. Doesn't always work, but that's the play. When the Democratic party allows oil leases or higher border funding, it doesn't do so skipping with joy. It does so reluctantly as part of a compromise to win other gains.

This is the part where you get out the tin foil hats and claim that despite all evidence to the contrary, Democrats actually secretly want every bad thing ever to happen. Because they're just that evil.

Sure doesn't. Very strong arguments to my point.

It doesn't seem like you're grasping that I wasn't or haven't really been refuting you.

The Democratic Party's appeal to centrism by passing right wing policies is against their progressive base. The strategy doesn't always work and it hasn't been working.

So why you working yourself up?
