    “So what you’re saying is we need to move further to the right.”

      I don’t know why everyone keeps insisting that courting the right was a stupid move. I personally know a lot of life long Republicans that got real tired of the MAGA stuff. In this matchup specifically, trying to scoop the conservative-but-not-MAGA vote makes sense by the numbers. Obviously it didn’t pan out, but at least in theory, there should be a sizeable bloc of voters there.

      Turns out people who want those things can vote for Republicans. Who offer more of those things!

      And the people who did not want those things stayed home.

      It shouldn’t have to be repeated so often that maybe Republican voters aren’t who the Democratic party needs to be gearing itself to attract.

      Because right wingers want that and left wingers don’t, that’s some surprising maths.

    Stop it Patrick, you’re scaring the liberals. Imagine how shocking it must be for reality to prove that the leftists were correct about everything this entire time. Again.

    Really weird how leftists have a 100% accuracy rate about all of history going back 150 years, but I’m sure the liberals will take some Ws eventually.

    Just keep barreling towards fascism, libs! I believe in you!
