The two progressive lawmakers have addressed massive crowds in solidly red states including Idaho and Utah in recent days, as party of the national Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

A survey taken by Harvard's Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), "who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and 'fight harder'," rather than leaders who are willing to "compromise" with President Donald Trump.

Kamala didn't lose by being "Too woke", she lost by saying "Maybe the Right can have a little fascism, ya know, as a treat?"

This is just wrong. Go look at what swayed voters. The fact is, she never broke from Biden.

The border was a shit show.
The stock market isn't the economy. Egg prices matter (it's ridiculous but true for voters, and yes, I know it was bird flu related)
People trust R's more when it comes to the economy
Many voters see Democrats as intolerable over educated snobs... That's how they address 'the deplorables'.
She ran on a platform that speaks TO DEMOCRATS and not the greater population.

Centrist is not evil, it's necessary to win elections. How many maps do you need to see to figure out you need to win some red districts? Support the fringe but run on a platform that speaks to the middle. Or.. keep doing what your doing and never hold more than a minor majority again.

I hate that you're right about this. I just saw an article yesterday that human intelligence actually is declining, and this is some of the strongest evidence. We truly live in the dumbest timeline.

The GOP are already working out how to blame the incoming great depression on Biden

And just like in that survey which found that a huge number of Republicans blamed Obama for his response to Hurricane Katrina, the rubes will buy it.
