The status quo/trying to get republicans to vote for you thing won’t work anymore. That has been proven with her. If the democrats won’t see that and run someone leftists will actually vote for they won’t ever have a majority again, probably won’t even get in again with all the shit Trump is doing to block dems from ever getting in.

I think it did work with Bill Clinton, but only as a short term thing that more or less fucked our politics for the next 30 years.

I think Perot peeled off way more GOP than Clinton did

I think they see Biden getting in as a “success” of that tactic.

The Democrats are as likely to pivot to actual left policy as the GOP is

Yes, which is why I hate them.
