The problem for left Democrats is not about winning in highly Democratic districts.

It is about winning in conservative and swing districts.

We get clobbered when going too far left in those areas.

The Republicans loudly frame the DNC, Biden and Pelosi with AOC platforms - because such framing wins for REPUBLICANS on a broader scale in this country.

Obama won because he was a centrist. If you don't believe that, ask just about any progressive activist about how Obama let them down.

I just wanna win the Senate, House and White House. Not just "progressive" seats in solid Democratic districts.
