In reply to the discussion: Terrified moderate Dems terrified by the "Sanders Wing" that might actually help people [View all]peggysue2
(10,828 posts)We want to help people, then we make sure all Dems are competitive in their respective districts and drop this nonsense that one-size-fits-all, everywhere. Ocasio-Cortez is viable in her district. That doesn't mean she's viable in all districts. In fact, I'd charge that her appeal is limited to voters who support Democratic Socialism reducing her reach across the country, even within the Democratic Party.
If we fail to do what we need to do in November, all these brand/litmus/purity tests, all the headlined fights between liberals vs moderates, progressives vs liberals yada, yada will be meaningless and beside the point. Even more than they are now.
We need to win in November not only for the Democratic Party but for the country at large. This has become a National Security issue.
We need to be strategic and smart.
