For starters, I would push back on the inflation narrative. Yes, inflation happened, and it's not great, but I don't think it's throw-the-bums-out-at-all-costs (including electing a criminal with a cabinet full of criminals) bad. I think that a lot of other factors were more important. For his actual points, I don't think they're especially helpful. A lot of this is just acceding to Republican talking points. You will never get Republicans to stop accusing Democrats of forcing everybody to be vegan, and that they're going to pay people to immigrate illegally. And you're never going to get people to stop believing it. Unfortunately, I've come to believe the exact opposite of this. The Democrats should lean on their far left, because they're the ones who get excited -- or don't. They should not worry about attracting "centrist" Republicans, because they never will. Nor should they worry about losing centrist Democrats, because they're the ones who will do their dumb, boring duty where the flighty extremists won't. That has worked fantastically for Republicans. Republican moderates line up to vote for the most extreme candidates the party can dream up. I hate everything about that. I don't usually agree with the Democratic far left. I think their policies are bad ones. If we do get into office because of them, we'll spend most of our time infighting. Just as Republicans do -- they accomplished practically nothing in the 2016-2018 time frame, and I bet they'll accomplish little in 2024-2026. But at least they've got the Presidency, and that's a huge opportunity. They played that to own the Supreme Court for the rest of my life. If Democrats want to win, they have to keep their eyes on that. It won't come from trying to woo the center. If it hasn't worked by now, it won't work by shifting further right.
