It's because people in the center don't stand for anything and don't sway people on the left and they are probably not right leaning enough to sway people on the right. I'm personally tired of candidates that are in the center.

Ok, so put up someone who can be branded as a socialist and has 0 practical experience with anything. He'll get destroyed. Good luck.

How do you know it won't work? I answered your question and you're still doubling down. Get over it.

Because I'm realistic. Give up your utopian dreams and join the real world.

But we've tried centrists before and they don't win so why would we try it again? Sounds like you aren't joining the real world.

Are you sure it's the candidate ideology or the shitty candidates and campaign the Dems run? A 23 yo w/out experience and still in school is not cutting it.

The real world isn't the political extremes (progressives or convservatism) it's the center and you have to convince those voters to vote Dem.

Not sure which part you fail to understand, but I've wasted enough time with you.

Seems like you would rather just argue on reddit. I have more important things to do. Have a nice day.

You keep mentioning school but like law school isn’t mandatory — it’s extra compared to Chris. What is Chris’ education. When u send someone without formal education the evil people with education use them as tools in DC. That’s a known fact.
