    The Democrats had a Democrat who appealed to conservatives and drew them in.

    His name was Bernard Sanders, and they ratfucked him so that they could run a particularly hated and unpopular war criminal to lose an election that should have been a slam dunk for them.

    Democrats will sacrifice every vulnerable minority in an attempt to court CHUDs so that they don’t have to do the one thing that would actually win them votes from CHUDs: throw the working class a couple economic bones.

    Of course, my previous sentence buys into the idea that the Democrats actually want to attract CHUD voters, which I don’t believe. I think they are just using “we have to appeal to the center!” as a way to cover the right-ward lurches they want to make anyway.
