Another morning, another lecture by Joe Scarborough and his #MorningJoe panel of predominantly white male establishment pundits that Democrats must "move to the middle."

"AOC this, AOC that," @JoeNBC mocks.

What he won't tell you is that today's middle is effectively GOP-lite.
#MorningJoe quotes Obama admonishing progressives for "rigidity."

But Obama should know how well conciliation with the GOP went. They blocked everything he did, stole a SCOTUS pick, and are dismantling his entire legacy.

Maybe progressive "rigidity" is a better approach.
I am SO tired of Democratic leaders echoing GOP narratives. The entire national debate is conducted on the far right's turf. And Dem politicians/pundits play right into it.

Here's how I describe it in my forthcoming book, #DigitalCivilWar
