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.
They're not even corporate captured, their policy stances are reverse Citizens United and Tax the Rich, they just have shit optics.
The faction that wants to do that is a minority even within the Democratic Party.
Even without the votes to make it happen without Republicans, the DNC has been introducing the ammendment constantly since the decision was first made.
If even 7 Republicans had crossed the isle it would have happened already.
