      This is a good idea but it would mean moderate Democrats would have to put forward actual policies that effect people's lives and not just run on "I'm a 'former' CIA or former marine or business executive." https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1324687462665539585 …

      I think the reality is that you need either an unusual amount of political charisma or a leadership position to develop a national profile on what they're selling post-social media. It's not 2006 anymore and it never will be again.

      Yeah—they are basically running on what they are *not*, ie, a Republican or a leftist Democrat. Which obviously is a winning strategy in much of the country. But it doesn’t generate intensity of support.

      Exactly. Neither-nor politics only generates excitement if it has a positive agenda in addition to rejection of both sides.

          It’s hard to have a positive, yet deliberately incremental agenda. Otoh, Left is not beating centrists outside of cities. So the truck is to be both deeep and broad, rather than one or the other.

          I think as with most political movements the current largely demsoc coalition brewing in the US needs to reach a certain critical mass before it makes mainstream gains. The fact that Sanders is firmly a widely respected mainstream political figure shows it’s possible.
