Centrist really shouldn't be talking about a losing message when they have compromised with republicans to undermine good Democratic policies that helped people as well as running losing campaign strategies of trying to get the wives of maga to not vote that their husband. When they should've been going to their base. The strategy of centrist shitting on the Democratic base, compromising and collapsing should be buried once and for all. This isn't a 10 year problem, but for like a 40 or 50 year problem. If Democrats would've stuck to their guns and not threw marginalized groups under the bus to appeal to suburbanites and rural communities they might have been able to hold enough seats in Congress to pass laws to prevent right wing oligarchs from buying up media to brainwash people. They also never should've stopped gerrymandering, because republicans weren't going to stop. Kamala Harris won poor people and most marginalized groups. We can't keep throwing our most loyal supporters under the bus and think it's not going to have negative consequences long term.
