    Not sure if you caught my other post, but that’s not a move. More than half of Democrat voters vote like it’s their sports team. It’s their default. It’s not a move.

    Your path to success requires them all to change their mind in a coordinated fashion.

    Can you see why I don’t think that would ever work?

          All you win is the status quo, and maybe at that, it can always get worse. Without taking a chance on “not what we’ve done for decades,” “what we’ve done for decades” will continue regardless.

            What is winning to you? To me, it’s getting abortion back and reducing ICE enforcement. And those are achievable.

              Maybe, more likely: “Republicans blocked it again, you have to vote harder and we pwomise this time we’ll actually do it.”

                Yeah that’s true. Biden did nothing.

                Oh wait, what’s this…
