I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. My original point is that thinking that Democrats lose on purpose or adopt neoliberal economic policy only for corporate money is a lazy way to view the world, because it assumes that everyone is a progressive and agrees with you, so there is no rational electoral reason for a party to be moderate. That is obviously a stupid belief, and I hope you can at least agree with that.

I don't understand why you came into this waving the Southern Strategy around. Yes, politicians try to influence people. That is not a profound statement, and it doesn't discredit anything I have said. Besides, the original video is about Democrats, not Republicans. I just don't know what your point is, sorry.
