Reply #17: Nobody, because you can't win with just Dems. You need "the middle" too [View All]

There are always some extremists who will never be happy with any Democrat and who bail to vote for this year's version of Nader.

Unlike the extreme conservatives who will vote for anyone who agrees with them on the outrage of the day (same sex marriage, abortion, tax rates, etc.)

Conservatives have a path to victory without swing voters, Liberals don't.


That is at the heart of the problem and it is why Democratic politicians are constantly moving to the right, to win centrist votes. There is no other path to victory for them. Until the far left grasp this fact and spend 30 years turning out and voting for the lesser evil we will all to often end up with the greater evil.






*Note, there are some very liberal districts where this does not hold true, they are the exception not the rule.
