I would tell them the Green New Deal remains incredibly popular. I would tell them there are hundreds of issues where Democratic policies are incredibly popular. I would tell them that 80% of conservatives approve of legalized medical marijuana. But all of that would require the Dianne Feinstein Wing to relinquish power. Here's the thing, though. Nobody ran Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. Nobody ran Maxwell Frost. Progress advances one funeral at a time. The kids who can't afford to raise a home in Silicon Valley but can afford Selma, Alabama aren't gonna suddenly start fretting about transgender chickens. We're already seeing a demographic shift from it. I volunteered for Kerry. It was an utter and total shitshow. That was after establishment Dems let the Supreme Court give the election to Bush and after establishment Dems decided to murder Howard Dean's chances. I don't think anybody gives a fuck about Obama if the candidate who loses in 2004 is Howard Dean. That the Democrats lost to Donald Trump despite the fact that he was absolutely, positively, undeniably Donald Trump should factor into everything they do from here on out. Will it? I don't know.
