    You know as well as I do that election math is just as hard to understand as toilet paper math. Election math says the 3% that voted for third party candidates is always the cause of them losing the election and never the 15+% that defected or refused to continue voting for them.

      I mean, heaven forbid we ask the party to adopt positions more inline with a majority of the parties likely voters

      Meanwhile, the candidate is still focused on offering right wingers an olive branch, as if courting the legitimate cult that gave us Cheeto Mussolini is really going to produce measurable differences electorally.

      You can put aside the deep ethical issue of being a pro-genocide party for just a moment(which is absurd) and it’s still clear that better electoral strategy is to shift on Gaza and go get the 3-5% of likely Democrat who are going to say “not good enough”.
