This is not a reasonable take. The Democrats doubled-down hard on ~~conservatism~~ centrism in 2024 and all it did was help Trump broaden his coalition. Also here, in Missouri, Republicans not only won, they won against the backdrop of voters approving a $15 minimum wage, required paid sick leave, and voting down an abortion ban.

Bernie and AOC are filling football stadiums in red states with their speeches. If the Dems want to win, they'll embrace economic populism and the left.

Simply put, your opinion is wrong. But feel free to trot out the Cheneys again for all the good it'll do you.
