They’re Just Manipulating the Overton Window

The Harris/Walz ticket is nothing more than throwing out 2 of the looniest candidates they have so that in 2028, they can run 2 slightly less loony candidates and make them seem “moderate”…by comparison.
“By comparison” is the key. Humans are wired to compare/relate things to other things and they take advantage of this flaw by manipulating the Overton Window with extremes.
They’ll still try to cheat and win, of course, but they clearly aren’t making a 2024 play here.

Perfect example right here, courtesy of Nancy Pelosi.
He’s not left, he’s “middle”…compared to whom, Ilhan Omar?

"Tim Walz is wonderful. She had many good choices. Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as left is so unreal. It’s just not, he’s right down the middle. He’s a heartland of America Democrat," she told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Nah.
They know that it doesn't matter who they put out there, and two empty vessels work best for the handlers.
"Look! Ethnic female and old, white male! Just like last time!"
[Dems stuff swing states with illegally harvested absentee and affidavit mail-in ballots. USA and freedom suffers. World and Dems tell US Conservatives they're racist bigots. Time marches on.]

Are there actually any American democrats left? Blue dog democrats? Guys like Lloyd Bensen? Manchin and Biden(before he was reprogrammed) were probably the last.
Now if you are not down with pronouns, pedophilia, crime and illegals why would you want to be a democrat?

I want to believe this. But I don't.
Nothing the Establishment/Left has done in recent years gives me the indication that they're ready to "punt" and try again in 2028. No, they're going to roll out unprecedented amounts of fraud and cheating and we're going to end up with a President* and VP* with a combined IQ of 100. This is legit scary.

On what specific issues could you see them moderating from where they are now (wherever the hell you think that is)?

I put “moderate” in quotes for a reason. It won’t be moderate, but they’ll claim it as such since it won’t be as extreme as the window stretchers.

Much of this country's problems are spiritual, manifested in politics. The people of the country need to seek face of Almighty God and pray for revival and awakening.
He is the ultimate answer.
And no, I am advocating political passivity or apathy

By any means necessary.
That’s where we are.
And the other side pretends not to see it.
