      In red and purple states Democrats ran very moderate and sometimes conservative Senate candidates -- McGrath, Bullock, Cunningham -- who didn't appeal to "cultural values of urban college graduates" & often lost anyways. Am I the only one who remembers this or am I nuts?https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1367120245845086211 …

      The whole narrative that Dems underperformed in 2020 because they were too woke & police defunding & using Latinx all the time is very strange since the ticket was headed by Joe fucking Biden who ran on giving more money to cops, beating socialism & bipartisanship.

      The argument here seems to be that Democrats shouldn't run Angela Davis or Noam Chomsky in red and purple states. But guess what? They're not running those candidates. They're already running moderate candidates in red & purple states.

          noam chomsky or angela davis might perform better than some of the wet sandwiches they pick to run for office.

          The point is that the "moderate" candidates they are running in the purple states are more liberal than the ones they are running in the redder states and that not doing this may lead to winning the elections in the purple states they are currently loosing

          I think Beto is the great litmus test here -- is he an example of a progressive aimed at attracting college educated voters or is he a moderate?

          Beto in his Senate race had personality and likeability and allo ran a good campaign, which are all arguably more important than policy. He was for gun control in Texas and got within 3% of Cruz which is a better margin than a lot of 2020 blowouts in purple states.

          Charles Booker stood a better chance of riding an outsider wave to beat McConnell than McGrath ever did. The DNC is scared to death to find out whether far-left economic policies can get traction in “red” states.

          Not only that, but Booker could have started a real movement in Kentucky the same way Abrams did with her run. He's doing some good work now, but with the platform and the momentum of a GE run against Mitch, it would have helped long term.

          Parties are brands. If your brand is effectively associated with unpopular ideas in the minds of voters, that will affect candidates who have not endorsed, or even oppose those ideas, because 90% of voters know the brand far better than the individual candidates' positions

          This is why "so-and-so could not have been hurt by defend the police because they never endorsed it or they opposed it" are so pointless when Republicans' messaging was any vote for any Democrat was a vote to defund. This is not rocket science.
