[In It to Win It]

71. I think the blaming overall has to stop

Like it or not, they are all bound together.

The moderates tend not to be as “loud” as the squad. The squad is all the media, and sometimes, not by their own choosing. They’ve become the right’s “boogie women”.

I think the moderates should do more outreach to their districts so that their districts know where they stand. The Squad will have the spotlight given to them by conservative media. It’s just a fact that a progressive Democrat won’t win in all places. The moderates have to take the bullhorn within their own districts as much as they can, which is already difficult when a presidential race is on the ballot.

In 2018, healthcare was the message... and there was also a big helping of “fuck Trump.” I would ask the moderates who won in 2018 “what did they come to Washington to do?” If the answer is “protect healthcare”, then I’d imagine that it wouldn’t be that big of a leap to campaign on expanding it. That could take the form of dropping barriers to insurance coverage or backing a universal healthcare plan.
