The stakes are too high. Instead, Democrats should run the 2018 playbook that just delivered House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the gavel and put Democrats in the governors’ mansions of purple and red states from coast to coast. To beat Donald Trump, of course Democrats must mobilize voters. But the party also must persuade voters beyond its base and build a broad coalition—and that base must include some of the folks who pulled the lever for him the first time around.
Instead, the crop of diverse and dynamic candidates who actually turned red seats blue were mainstream Democrats like Reps. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, Colin Allred of Texas, Sharice Davids of Kansas and Xochitl Torres Small of New Mexico. These candidates ran on kitchen table issues like reducing the cost of health care, raising wages and cleaning up corruption in Washington.
The data does not back this argument up at all. Turnout - in key states - is the only thing that will win it for Democrats.
Except Hillary didn’t mobilize progressives...
Seems like is really scared of BernieSanders and ewarren....
How bout you just impeach him
No keep sprinting towards crazy, 🥰 love it
Democrats leaving communist party, turning back on Marxism! Trump landslide predicted by news sources.
That is correct! Moderate centrist and independents decide the elections not progressives. Look st the 2018 election and let me know how many progressives flipped any GOP seat. ZERO
Stop obsessing about pleasing Centrists. We've been down that road before and got Trump.
Feel free to run to the center and beg Republicans to vote for a corporate Democrat. That worked so well the last time with HRC. I guess you can always blame Susan Saradon and her super power to swing elections this time around too.
People that would disagree with you on that would be the Republican party, why they gerrymandering districts voter suppression voter ID laws, encourage foreign governments to attack our elections but you keep thinking that GOP and Dems are 50/50 throughout the United States
That's why Bernie Sanders does town halls on places like Fox News, and goes on Joe Rogan, etc., because he is talking to all the people, trying to get everyone mobilized to come out & vote. To bad the rest of the centrist dems aren't doing the same thing, bad move on their part.
The Democrats could win if they try it with Tulsi Gabbard.
That's all you have left
Counterpoint: you get paid to hold this specific opinion.
'Reducing healthcare costs'? That's going to attract 'gettable voters'? Yeah, good luck with that.
I know.
Maybe Politico and Third Way need to stop obsessing about the idea of 'progressives' - Sanders's coalition is diverse and includes moderates, liberals, PoC and working class voters. Your fixation on framing Sanders as divisive is noted.
I have literally never heard the argument that we have to mobilize progressives. What everyone is talking about is mobilizing disengaged, under-engaged and suppressed voters.
True
We know. Which is why we just won’t vote lol and you’re stuck with Trump for 4 more years because you wanted the Corperate greed. We know what you’re saying, you said it 4 years ago with a rigged election.
There go any chances Warren “I refuse to talk to Fox voters” ever had.
