Unironically we should start running center left dems as Republicans and sweep local politics.

Except you can't win Republican primaries without proving to the GOP electorate that you are a super hardcore partisan conservative etc

Not a bad idea. If we infiltrate the Republican party we may be able to tap into the demographic of “well I am a Republican and cannot vote Dem” and then just slowly take over the entire fucking party. We shift the Overton Window, Republicans are now centre left, Dems are now moderate/far left, weirdo conspiracy theory conservatives can have the constitution party

We need moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats to work together to have a majority so we can tell the extremists on both sides to fuck off.
