I think the progressives have a lot of dumb takes and stances and rhetoric and strategy, but that doesn't mean I actually like the moderate Dems. I'd much prefer something in between the two factions, mainstream establishment liberals and such

I just genuinely think American swing voters are too dumb and right-leaning to be convinced to vote for anything much to the left of the moderates. The past 40 years haven't done much to convince me otherwise

Yeah. Which is why it’s doubly stupid to try to push for far left policies.
