Dems don't need to go low. They need to stop chasing conservative voters.

The reason they are so timid on everything is because the consultant class has convinced them that if they are just a bit more right wing, they'll win the next election.

If Dems fired the consultants and chased the working class, they'd win big time. People hate the Dems because they are corporate captured.

I haven’t seen this at all, except referenced by many social media posts very similar to your own.

You aren't aware of Kamala Harris distancing herself from her VP pick and campaigning with Liz Cheney?

Or the fact that she spent a large portion of her campaign funds trying to reach deep red districts ( https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/03/politics/harris-rural-red-county-strategy )?

You aren't aware that one thing Dem leadership was proudly championing was their extremely brutal immigration bill ( https://apnews.com/article/border-immigration-senate-vote-924f48912eecf1dc544dc648d757c3fe )?

Are you unaware of the "Abundance" movement which is just warmed over libertarianism ( https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/28/what-is-abundance-liberalism )?
