(5,737 posts)Call them names, and ignore their "wants" and you end you losing elections. Us moderate Dems want to know exactly how free healthcare and college are going to be paid for. None of this "tax the wealthy and corporations" nonsense. Spell it out as to how it can be achieved. But here really is only one way, and that is to keep moderate Dems at the voting booth. Far too many stayed home in 2016. They won't vote GOP. They won't vote 3rd party. Instead, they will not vote at all.
THAT is what a moderate Democrat is. THAT is who WE are. Keep up this nonsense about elevating someone up onto a pedestal will only equal losing. But then, I doubt you understand that.
Frankly, I'm sick to death of this "progressive" stuff. Either you are a Democrat, or you aren't. Either you vote Democrat, or you vote GOP or third party. Try to run a congressional campaign in WV like you would in NY and you'll lose every time.
