    That “square in the middle” skews white and middle class.

    I also think you underestimate the number of people who voted for him purely because he isn’t Trump in 2020.

        What does this snark have to do with the comment you responded to? Is the Democratic establishment supposed to be beyond even mild criticism? Yeah, they have voters stuck in a corner. We get it.

        Now here is something for you to get. The people posting this shit are far more likely to harden people’s resolve to punish the Democrats for their abuse of the situation. You are the flip side of the same coin, choosing virtue signaling instead of trying to heal the breech the Democratic establishment created. It’s fucking tribalism, just like the Republicans.

              nah, you’re a loser. you literally roll out a false equivalency then ask for help? nawp, in fact, I’ll block you so I don’t future inane interactions with you.

                I never made a false equivalency. “Republicans and Democrats are both mammals” does not mean “Republicans and Democrats are equivalent.”. The fact that your tribalistic thinking can’t tell the difference just reenforces my point.

                Were I a Republican strategist I would have people doing exactly what you are. You aren’t bringing potential Democratic voters back into the fold, you are telling them that they get to have no influence over the Democratic party or their government - no matter who is in charge. They are going to check out completely. When the Republicans win, it’s people like you that are usually responsible.

                This is precisely what was wrong with Hillary’s “deplorables” comment. It hit hard because it reflected exactly what was painfully obvious about her elitist views.
