MODERATORS
Age is a factor sure. But Democrats need to stop being centrists and move left if they have any hope in appealing to the masses. The DNC needs to also reflect this change. Otherwise they'll just push for a moderate like Biden again.
I don't think that's true. The majority of the U.S. isn't as left leaning as we'd like to believe they are.
Edit: Downvote all you want. Lemmy is a very left leaning site, and not at all representative of the wider population.
i think i agree. data shows a large amount of americans want policies that the left supports, but they want those things because it benefits them, not because they believe in the ethical considerations or the ideals of collectivization. if they are promised by a fascist they'll get those policies as soon as they kick out target minority, then they'll gladly follow the fascist.
Just look at Missouri, votes for minimum wage increases and an abortion amendment but reelected GOP candidates across the board. The dems lost because of a mix of elitism and the fact that they were governing at a time when incumbants globally are being kicked out due to post-covid economies.
