"the evidence is quite clear that voters don’t think Democrats are too extreme. They think Democrats are weak." There's your answer peeps. Look like you're willing to fight MAGAism, and support candidates - left or center - who will fight.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayNew in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power.
