The rest are dunking heavy in the tank for communism. There is no way that the real mainstream democrats are all THAT far left.

I actually know what's going on with all of this and it's fricking idiotic.

I listened to some guy on NPR a few weeks back talking about how the Democrats basically cannot win by appealing to moderates. There aren't enough of them that aren't going to vote for Trump was essentially what he was saying.

Instead the Democrats have decided that they can target first time voters. People who swing far to the left. They think there may be enough of those types of voters out there to give themselves a shot.

I was lol'ing very hard at that interview because it seemed to me they are currently rationalizing the death of their own party.

1) the first time voter numbers are actually way down this cycle so their strategy is DoA

2) they are driving their party so far to the left they are alienating independents not just for this cycle, but for good.

This is all a grave miscalculation. They're literally driving their party off a cliff trying to stop Trump. They would be far better served to just throw out a sacrificial lamb this cycle and try and regroup for 2024. But the problem is that all of the party bigwig types are actually in real, legit trouble. As in, go to jail, type trouble. So they have totally abandoned reason and have the clowncar headed straight for the cliff.

It would be funny as hell if it weren't so tragic and potentially dangerous for our country.
