      Dems problem is voters who don't show up (i.e. millennials in last election) than winning over GOP voters (who aren't, mostly, winnable)

          If those people are already not voting, how does winning them over require winning over the centrist wing of the party?

          Sides aren't fixed. One point of using derision against other side is to shrink that side & pull more people into the no-derision love zone.

          Onlt if those doing the deriding are already respected. Otherwise it has opposite effect

          Also, voting changes 2013 after Obama won 2nd term allowed massive voter suppression. That alone can tip elections. Need EVERY Dem to vote.

          I think the argument from the left is that compromised, mealy mouthed positions of Hillary and other centrists are causing low turnout.

          "everyone agrees with us, if only we could get them to admit it!" If you want millennials, who do you think is listening to Chapo?

          Wasn't Dems problem last election that they –elites chapo mock– bet on flipping "aren't winnable" voters instead of turning out their base?

          if GOP voters are unwinnable, why does the concern of abandoning them in the center to increase left turnout remain valid?

          This implies that any flexibility in the middle is 100% on the side of Dems right now and unwinnable once they vote right, and this is wrong
