Do you think they looked at all the best demographics and polling they could get and said ‘nah, let’s go a different way lol’?

Yes, because the policies that are popular with their base and with the middle are not popular with their corporate donors and they have even refused to release their post-mortem analysis of the 2024 election.

There was no way to make any of that work, and thinking there was, that it was their strategy or the candidate, misses the point. ANY non right candidate will lose again if this issue isn’t understood.

I agree there that the “left” needs to coalesce more and quit with the purity test B’s at least on the national stage
