From what I've seen, it's less "act as if it's not an option" and more "lump in normie libs with your opposition". The hard left calls anyone not socialist a "liberal" (derogatory), while reactionary centrists treat everyone to the left of Andy Beshear as destroying the party with their craziness.

If age has given me anything, it's dark humor at how people romanticize the past who weren't there or don't remember it. For all the dystopia and misery people call out now, the past was WAY worse on most fronts, in even the smallest of details.

Just absolute fear of doing anything, based on beliefs that are divorced from the real perspectives of both their own voters and the general public.

Why Centrist Democrats Keep Being Wrong About Elections

People guessed how people would vote based on a belief - and that belief drove their vote in a way that disproved their own assumption. Now apply this to real world politics.

This failure is downstream of the greater failing of 20th Century thinking: that sociopolitical problems are a mechanical issue you can socially engineer away. We need to shift our thinking away from this "engineer" mentality if we want to solve the problems of the 21st century.

Honestly makes sense to me. These guys’ whole schtick is thinking that there’s an evil elite cabal that based hero Trump is fighting, but by refusing to publish the supposed Epstein list and denying it exists, he’s inadvertently suggested he’s part of (or covering for) the cabal.
