MODERATORS
Left is in a pretty clear lead but you won't find me handing out fliers to spread the word. I'm just watching in paralyzed horror.
Maybe if you told moderates they need to start compromising with leftists and progressives a few might listen.
Based on the overwhelmingly negative response to the left being criticized I understand why many Centrists stay center. Going either direction just feels morally compromising. I'll still vote blue because I'm not insane but still, I'd never call myself Democrat.
Supporting unions feels morally compromising? Refusing to send weapons to Israel feels morally compromising? Raising minimum wage feels morally compromising?
Get real.
Another excellent example of strawman.
