    What’s your point?

    We all lost.

    We can be self righteous and quadruple down and run another unpopular moderate, and see if yelling at them to vote anyways works…

    But it’s got a pretty bad track record.

    If we run a young charismatic candidate with a progressive platform, we know that performs very well.

    So at a certain point. Aren’t both sides acting like children?

    Isn’t the smart move for the “moderates” to compromise and we get progressive a little faster than they want? They’re the ones controlling the party and exerting influence so their candidate wins in primaries over the one voters want.

    Why is the compromise always to the right?

    Why not do what works and gets the American people help faster?
