should be advocating for electing democrats. It's clear that the current republican party won't change as long as they remain in power, and they're not going to give up their playbook while it works. The only way they're going to change is as a result of demoralizing electoral losses over several cycles. So if they are serious about change, they need to be advocating for democrats, even if they want to still call themselves republicans.
