Someone gets it.
The idea that the Democrats can win just by playing it safe and refusing to do anything that might alienate swing voters is incredibly naive. When the other side has complete control over the narrative of every hot button issue you don't win just by saying "I'm better than the other guy" over and over again, Democrats tried that in 2016, it didn't work.
