    Ironic that you chide me for being ignorant and having unwarranted confidence in my opinion, when twice you’ve claimed that the average American voter is to the left of mainstream Democratic pols. That is one of the dumbest theories I’ve heard in a while.

      She came out for fracking…

      For tougher border policy than trump/Biden were doing…

      She said Biden had done enough for student loans and shed maintain course even tho it wasn’t working…

      But most importantly she told anyone that would listen she’d do everything just as Biden did.

      Because neoliberals always act like Dem voters want what Republican voters want.

      Because they are to the right of the average American not just in policy, but in personality.

      You may be too close to that to be able to see it

        Just to be clear, in your view, voters were presented with a choice between a candidate who was somewhat to the right of them, and another candidate who was waaay to the right of them, and the majority voted for the latter. You’re right, this makes perfect sense. You’ve got it all figured out.
