this gives them too much of an out. while the dems dont have the leeway to go "full socialism," the cautious is extremely ridiculous. even if you argue - legitmately - the party is center-left moderate, they too often play on gop territory on economics.

im in a weird squishy place where i find leftist critiques unrealistic and party adherent defenses unimaginative.
to use a sports analogy, the dems can't put the ball on the opposing team's 5 yard line like leftists want, but the party has a habit of also putting the ball on their own 20 yard line. put it the other team's 40 yard line, at least. make them play defense.
too often the democrats convincingly win elections and their response is immediately: how can we meet the republicans half way?
