if your instinct is to appeal to the right, then that is a tell
"political strategists" pushing this approach are rat poison for the democrats, and anyone listening to them is a clueless empty suit, or center right: not a democrat
what you are, is what you try to appeal to
you appeal to the left. or you appeal to the right
period
obvious as fuck, but the inability of so many DNC to appreciate it means endless failure
until they get it or are replaced

@benroyce@mastodon.social @mattsheffield@mastodon.social On the money, as usual Ben! If you are comfortable going either way, then you have no true convictions and that is just who you are.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @mattsheffield@mastodon.social I think that the Dem consultants who think this way are just trying to line their own pockets. If they can get paid a percentage of the money they raise as a commission, it is easiest for them to hit up rich people who might oppose the GOP on social issues (LGBT rights, abortion, marijuana) but who want to stay rich. To do that, they have to oppose the DSA folks.
