I don’t necessarily disagree, I caucused for Bernie, but I understand why they were trying to poach those falling off the republican party. When the country has swung so far to the right we don’t get a left and right party anymore, we get the slide into fascism and maintain the status quo parties. At least until we can get ranked choice voting. Defeating Fascism was supposed to be a step back towards the left, but some leftists couldn’t handle not getting everything they wanted right away, so instead we get to slide into fascism.
How much did that courting the right help the DNC? Zilch.
Case in point. In so many red states, the popular vote went to trump, but the proposals to enshrined abortion in law passed.
You’re making the same mistake the Ds did - there are far more people who want an anti-imperialist, for-the-people, medicare-for-all party. Instead their stuck with a fascist party and a party so shitty it’s trying to tail the fascist party.
