They could energize their left base. The left would be skeptical for a good reason.

Time and time again the party has not embraced fundamentally comprehensive left politics.

Because they too are owned by the wealthy.

It's not calibration. It's capitulation.

Because my thoughts about right of center voters are nuanced?

OK PAL I'm a leftist that voted Harris. You dont get it.

They will conveniently ignore that the lack of voter showing for progressives downballot is because too few people showed for Harris. Upballot really matters in presidential cycles.

I agree that Democrats SHOULD go further left. The politics of the left is popular! What I'm say is that the party won't do this.

The will incorrectly conclude, because downballot progressives lost their races this year. that "the left is dead"

No. Trump voters do not equal MAGA. People who identify as conservative far outweight the MAGAts of the world. Lots of conservatives stayed home because they hate Trump. Look at Obama -> Trump voters, Biden -> Trump voters. Your position is completely reductionist.

Moving away from progressive politics to slightly right of center is not an embrace of fascism. Center and right politics boils my blood, but that's terribly irresponsible mischaracterization.

Democrats still need to be a foil to trump, but not one towards "pre-trump moderate conservatism"

I don’t dispute the midterms will be a success for the democrats, but it’s because they will have shifted to the right for the sake of winning. Which begs the question, what is being won other than a more conservative politics?

We’re allowing society to shift right by embracing the inevitability of that narrative.

As we move towards the right, more and more and more things will be considered “woke” and “progressive” - next election cycle, center Democrats will be calling abortion access and minimum wage rise “woke”.

How he carried out this crime is all table stakes level of precaution really. His prepping probably led to his overconfidence in other aspects.

That he did not apply his intelligence consistently is the sensible take here.

Ok but wearing a hoodie in Congress is far away from what makes him terrible.
