I think we need to peel more moderate Republicans away from the MAGA Trump movement. We need to hold hard-core MAGA voters accountable but if we are going to win the next rounds of elections we need to get more independents and moderates. My step father is a Republican. He is not a bad guy but he is just misguided. If we can get voters like him to vote for us, or at least not vote against us, we will have a much better chance of regaining the Congress and the White House. And I am pretty much a Progressive and want more progressive Dems like AOC in office, but I would take a centrist Dem in office rather than some MAGA Republican any day of the week.
