    Yeah but the old-school Dems won’t inspire people to get off their ass and vote.

      Personally, they have and they will. I love the DNC platform, I hope soon we can give them more than 50 senate seats for the first time in over a decade.

        I love their platform as well! But they are not executing. All the talk and position papers in the world mean nothing IRL if there’s no action.

          Theres no action because they haven’t had more than 50 seats (including caucus) in over a decade.

            So, might it be fair to say they’re losing? Perhaps because they can’t execute?

              You’re mad that the people you refuse to let do the thing aren’t doing the thing?

        Man, if you want to argue that milquetoast moderate Dems get the largest number of votes by offending the least number of potential voters, that’s one thing, but old-school Dems have a very poor track record of generating enthusiasm compared to alternatives.
