    It’s almost like if you create a platform that completely disenfranchises your voting base to try and appeal to your opponent, people won’t continue to support you when you show that you no longer protect their interests.

    It’s always, for decades now, attempt after attempt to appeal to the “moderates” and “reach across the aisle” to get R’s to flip but never are they allowed to move the needle to the left otherwise they get ousted as being “too radical”, in order to pull in the gigantic swatch of the population who do not participate because they see that no one actually gives a shit about them.
