- And yeah, people complaining about "where is centrism/moderation? why are there no moderates anymore?" you guys either don't vote, or there's not enough of you to win elections

We nominated bipartisanship, centrism, and moderation in 2016. What happened? People called her a corporate-owned Wall Street stooge because she was pro-free trade and only wanted a $12 minimum wage, not a $15 minimum wage. Voters clearly didn't want centrism/moderation, they wanted uncompromising economic populism. They wanted Bernie Sanders.

If Bernie Sanders is what people want, then so be it. That's where the energy is, that's what we will aspire to. No compromise, no bipartisanship, no moderation. We tried moderation, and you criminalized her and crucified her, pretended she was the boogie-man so you would have a reason not to cross over and vote for her, even though she was the better candidate, and also not insane. Frankly, I'm not sure why we should fall into the trap of pursuing bipartisanship ever again. This is the GOP's mess to deal with now. Go ahead and try to repeal Obamacare again, it'll only get us to single payer faster.
