MODERATORS
You can't win office without Independent votes.
Anyone that you want to elect must get Independent votes, they are 40% of the voters (Ds & Rs 30% each).
When I need help, I don't tell the potential aid to fuck off, but what do I know? Let's see how "fuck off" inspires the electorate.
This assumes independents are centrists...
Centrist doesn't like hearing the messaging that centrists have been sending the left for 40 years.
Look, I know that a candidate who isn't itching to murder every last Palestinian might not be your very first choice, but they agree with you on 98% of everything else, right? So vote blue no matter who.
