    If the only solution is democrats never losing then it’s not a workable solution.

    They will lose at some point, and we need to be prepared for that and not let it completely undo any changes they’ve managed to squeak through with only the presidency and a supermajority in both houses.

      When they lose it needs to be cause they were not left enough they need to lose I. Primaries when they fail to support the leftist positions we need.

      If that’s not workable, then it’s not going to work, and eventually it will break. I don’t like it but I didn’t design this system.

        This idea that you can punish the DNC by having them lose, is a foot gun.

        They are 100% happy with that and it absolutely would not cause them to shift even a centimeter left. If anything, it will shift them right.

        The DNC wants to please their corporate donors, and only wants to win half the time.

        You want to punish them? Replace them slowly using primaries, state and local politics.

        Anything else is shooting yourself in the foot by misunderstanding the incentive structures.

          I didn’t mean “when they lose to Republicans, it needs to be because they weren’t left enough” I meant “when they lose an election, it needs to be because there was a farther left candidate that won”

          Conservatives need to never win an election again in my lifetime. Maybe if the Republican party moved left of the Democratic party, or if a third party gained popularity and was left if the Democrats.

          But realistically, it has to happen in primaries.

      I think significant progress could be seen if they could win 4 times in a row with at least one senate super majority and house simple majority stretch near the end.
