like, these people think that debra in marietta georgia just woke up one day and decided her biggest single issue was a kid in tucson arizona playing jv tennis with their friends and that was just a completely normal concern that she came to on her own

if you think the problem is that the democratic party is too extreme rather than our current media environment privileges right wing bull shit then you have no real business discussing politics in public

My main takeaway on the “moderation” debate is that Democrats would be better served by other debates besides left-right positioning, like how to develop new valence issues (corruption!) as wedge issues, and how to get attention for their policy proposals in the first place
