We nominated a centrist candidate that people didn't like. She lost. If we are going to ignore why people didn't like her, then we will likely lose again.

You know all the "Dems just needed to get out and vote in those swing states" arguments? There are reasons they didn't. We need to figure them out. I am positing that the lack of enthusiasm for a centrist was part of it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
