You’re not wrong. America’s Overton window is hilariously skewed, because conservatives have consistently been working to drag it to the right for decades. And the “we need to reach the moderate voters” liberals have been letting it happen, by consistently shifting their own messaging farther right to pander to the new “center”.
DAC is definitely pretty leftist, agreed with the other two (DAC>Valdez>Lander). I still like Lander and aren’t gonna freak out over him unless he just shits the bed (he was a DSA member since 87 so he’s definitely not fake), but his comment (yesterday? today?) saying he’s looking forward to voting for Hakeem as the House Majority leader spooked me.
Get where he’s coming from to not just say, “fuck everyone else in the party, our way or the highway” cause you can’t just do that when you’ve only got 20 or so squad-type House members right now, but please don’t capitulate to the establishment
These candidates are centrists, not leftist. The problem being the centre in US is right wing.
