    Just be more republican to win republican votes.

    Wait why do we want the democrats to win again?

      Because when the alternative sets us back 50 years, standing still doesn’t look so bad. The challenge is moving the Overton window leftward and I don’t know how we do that, but I’m all ears.

      If you want the current left to be recognized as centrist, then you need to vote until it becomes the norm, so that a new left can develop.

          Absolutely. The way forward is to move the Overton window until the current left is the new right.

          …and understand that it might take a lifetime.

          Nothing handicaps genuine progress quite like impatience.
