they’ll pivot right because they have some hope of winning over centrists
What makes you think that?
I’ve already, in a different thread, posted the latest polls showing the majority of Americans want to stop arms sales to Israel. The data suggests stopping arms sales would win a huge number of votes, but it isn’t Democrat policy.
If the Democrats are likely to shift policy to seek votes, then why haven’t they shifted to banning arms sales to Israel?
Absent of further data, it doesn’t look at all like Democrat policy follows available votes. It looks more like Democrat policy follows the wishes of their wealthy donors, so unless they tack to the right, I can’t see why Democrat policy will.
If you want to make a case that Democrat policy chases votes, you’ll have to explain why they’re not chasing the obvious anti-genocide vote?
Sigh. They’d see the republicans win and move right because it’s the right who won. Stupid? Yes. Damaging? Yes. Can you or I change it? No.
It’s so illogical of you to suggest that losing to the right will shift them left. That’s not how it works. It’s not how it ever works. It’s not even how it works in countries that have more balanced political systems.
And victory for an incredibly delusionally far right wing president isn’t the left wrong victory you seem to think it would be.
Stop pretending that if the Democrats lose just one more time, America will suddenly turn communist. It won’t. The route left comes through moving left, not lurching to the right again.
