      Our centre-right are not a problem. Our populist and far-right is and our far-left is sending more people to them all the time. That's what needs fixing unless we (and you) want right-wing government forever.

      The populists are right. The far-lefties are sending people right by calling everyone racist & sexist & refusing to acknowledge any problem with Islam & being generally mad. They don't become racist & can be won back.

      Do you want the left to win elections? Or is it more important to have purity tests of who is and isn't a real lefty? Does it not matter if Trump gets another term if you get to feel that the remaining left is pure?

          REALLY want the left to win elections? Stop expecting corporate Democrats to win that've lost 1,200+ seats to GOP & could BARELY beat a pedo in Alabama. AGAIN, they lost ~1000 seats BEFORE Bernie ran in 2016. Expecting different results is insanity. Time for progressives.pic.twitter.com/E4cCMdiylo

          You say "purity test" , I say standards. It is acceptable to scrutinize those ppl whom you are supposed to elect to govern over you. Why should ppl whom are corrupt/incompetent/lack morals/voted incorrectly in the past get to dictate others lives? Lack of standards gave us Trump!

          What’s the point of winning when Dems win with conservative candidates barely to the left of Marco Rubio? Winning with conservative rightwing candidates defeats the whole point of winning.

          Exactly. Centrists are assuming a Blue Wave out of anti-Trump revulsion and are now engaged in furiously punching left. How’d that work out in 2016?

          I mean there probably is one but that’s exactly why they should be pushing actually leftwing candidates bc they can actually win and ride in on a wave. This is the best time to stack congress with progs kinda like what cons did w/the Tea Party in ‘10 except not run dipshits

          There probably will be a blue wave, but the quickest way to squander it would be to push conservative Democrats in that wave and basically defeat the purpose of said blue wave

          Why don't we examine previous elections? George W Bush was the was one of the worst presidents we've ever had and he wasn't defeated by a centrist despite being a war criminal. I don't think another Hillary Clinton or John Kerry type has a shot of defeating an incumbent pres.

          Ever heard of the Overton window? This is one helluva loaded, biased, non-starter of a question. The policies of the DNC are not ‘impure Left’; they’re R of Reagan, ffs. Supporting the DNC will guarantee that Left policies will die on the vine.

          The left is not the cause of the Dem’s demise. They’re wiped out(on all levels, everywhere) because they’re self-handicapped by constantly trying to triangulate between their corporate donors, feigned values, and lip-service to voters. “Purity” is not synonymous with “integrity”.

          What matters is running for policy and standing for concrete ideas. Not just running against Trump or GOP. That’s not a position. That’s not leadership.

          We're in this mess because we kept voting blue no matter who. We did no due diligence for way too long and we don't have a lot of good democrats to support. They're mostly beholden to donors and sell us out too often and too easily.
