So, have we decided who we are purging from the party yet?

65. "Well, okay. So we need to run conservative Democrats to win conservative states, right? "

No, Mr. Strawman that's not what I said. I'll walk you through it because you can't seem to grasp simple ideas.

"The problem is that "liberals" as we on DU would define them..."

DU defines liberals very narrowly. You either accept the leftmost position available fully or you aren't a true liberal. Deviance from orthodoxy is not accepted as valid. Think Sanders, Kucinich, and Warren. DU would define them as liberals.

"...are pretty much unelectable in red states."

Candidates like Sanders, Kucinich, and Warren, would not be electable in most red states. Dennis Kucinich wasn't even electable in his own district after it wasn't gerrymandered for him. This doesn't mean that Democrats have to be DINOs or run as conservatives to win in red states. What it does mean is they have to take positions that make them palatable to the electorate. Any person that understands politics understands this.

Allison Grimes wouldn't have improved her chances by running to the right. But, she would have been destroyed running as a far left candidate. Obama has a 31% approval rating in KY. 56% of KY hates "Obamacare". How do you think hugging stuff with approval like that would help her cause?
