I've said this before, or tried to.
Official Democratic party policy is pro-business, pro-stock market, pro Nancy Pelosi's portfolio. In the parallel universe where Kamala won, inflation and slowly tightening corporate policies are slowly pressing Americans to death, we're not in a bullshit trade war with Canada, exactly the same number of Palestinians are being killed, absolutely nothing is being done to address healthcare, reproductive rights, gun crime, poverty, disease, the environment, net neutrality or basically anything of that nature.
Official Democratic party messaging is "At least we're not the Republicans." Which means less and less as time goes on. They've got no progressive policies. No one in this nation I think is rabidly pro-Democrat. There are a few that are rabidly anti-Republican.
How many times have I seen this conversation play out: "The Democrats need to reach out to moderate Republicans." "NO, they need to move to the left!" No, the Democrats need to reach out to the majority of Americans. Which is going to mean actually appealing to men. Which they currently DO. NOT.
