(180,478 posts)Try working on a real campaign in someplace other than a deeply blue state. The Socialism attack was used to great effect in Florida and other states. The Texas party underperformed in the Rio Grande Valley in large part due to attacks using socialism and comparing normal moderate/mainstream candidates to the squad. This tactic was very effective in the real world. The statewide Democratic Lawyers Association will have a CLE tuesday night about what went wrong in Texas and there was another CLE event last January by the Harris County Democratic Lawyers Association. Labeling otherwise moderate Democrats as far left was a very effective tactic in the real world.
Again you are wrong in your analysis and have no idea as to what happens in campaigns in non-deep blue states Please note that ACO and sanders both called themselves democratic socialists and the Just Us Democrats brag about electing far left candidates to get rid of centralist/corporate Democrats. I am on the Just Us Democrats democrats mailing list and some of their emails are really sickening and sad. It is the goal of the Jus Us Democrats to remake the party into their image and in doing so will cause the party to be non-competitive
Again, your analysis is simply wrong.
