MODERATORS
Every time the Dems look left they lose. They go to the center because they lose control (they need all 3 houses to do anything), so they go to the center to find voters. They've had control of all 3 houses for, drumroll please, 4 of the last 24 years. Want them to stop going to the center? Them give them victories.
I wish more people could understand this. Or even made an effort to.
Note how Barqs did not specify which years those were, that's because the answer would contradict their point. Half of those four years were Obama's first, after he campaigned to the left on a message of hope and change but before his actual administration revealed him to be just another moderate.
Obama's policy positions were quite moderate, people just liked his branding.
