MODERATORS
I know a bunch of you are going to call me a lib for this. But I canvassed for Sherrod Brown through my union and got to talk to his campaign manager (at the time, the campaign manager for the most well funded Senate race in American history).
They really do see American politics as this: there is a political spectrum from left to right that all people sit somewhere on. Nonvoters are just impossible to reach, and the way you win votes as a Democrat is to appeal to Conservative values.
They don't even really consider the possibility of using populist language to appeal to broad swathes of apolitical but discontented people, because that might alienate their candidate from the Democratic Party at large.
This is why they hate mamdani so much
