I’m hoping that if the Democrats fail to get the House in the midterms, then they’ll finally wake up and run on progressive principles. Being corporate centrists doesn’t appeal to anybody and they’re too stupid to see that being the lesser of two evils is nothing to brag about. If they would have ran on actual progressive platforms like Medicare for all, taxing the rich, workers’ rights, a living wage, ending corporate influence on our government, then they’d end up taking both the House and the Senate for sure. Conservatives that hate those kind of things aren’t ever going to vote Democrat no matter how moderate the candidates are, so stop trying to appeal to them. Now Democrats just have a fair advantage in the House races and a longshot at the Senate. It’s pathetic.
