conversely, I reckon moderate Dems would have a lot more success breaking through the conservative noise machine if they could just advance their own policies rather than constantly starting slap-fights with the left

the problem, I suppose, is that the ruling moderate elite is *theoretically* dedicated to mostly the same outcomes as the left, but insists for various reasons that It Can't Be Done
so they're stuck either plugging Rube Goldberg tax credits that are meager and/or don't work, or bait themselves into trying to slap down the left for advancing straightforward solutions to big problems
another problem I think is that moderates are constitutionally semi-incapable of reckoning with very extreme problems because they definitionally require non-moderate policies
like what is the moderate bumper sticker slogan for a lawless police force that violently intimidates elected political leadership? newrepublic.com/article/159142…
so far I have heard "give the police more money" and "racial sensitivity training." both are flatly non-responsive to the actual problem
