Ossoff’s mistake was starting out honest. He started with the hate Trump, pro-Sanders kind of stuff and then modified his positions when that didn’t work. He got enough people to overlook his initial stances to make a respectable showing.
If Demonrats run in suburban congressional races as Bernie Sanders clones, even in some otherwise liberal places they will lose.
If I were the republicans and I saw this happening I’d be tempted to run some RINO or semi-RINO candidates against several demonrat hard leftist. This is a place where social moderates or conservatives who are willing to (lie and)run as moderates might be preferable. Tie all demonrats to the hard left. If their candidates distance themselves from the hardline the demonrat national committee will cut their funding off. If they run like Bernie they’ll lose.
Example of a lying position: A person that that believes that abortion should only be done to save the live of the mother (Against better than 99% of all abortions) has in the past often ben called pro-life. Run as pro-abortion and make demonrats defend the more gruesome position. There are several positions that could be done this way.
Better yet. File and run as a democrat. win the election and then change parties. This might be the only plan that would work in California
Destroy the demonrats as a party. Then go RINO hunting.
The difference between the two parties is that when a Jim Jeffords does that to the Republicans they just whimper, but if you try it on the Dems, they'll kill you, and I mean literally. It's sort of like apostasy is to Muslims, it's a one-way street.
I agree with your assessment, though, about Sanders. Hillary losing the working class was a stunning blow to a party that took the working class vote for granted, and now they're scrambling to get it back. All they have to offer is socialism, and that won't get the job done. If it ever does, we've got problems.
I disagree. Ossoff started out in typical dem fashion by lying - claiming to have years of experience in any number of areas - the punk is only 30 years old!. He totally inflated his resume and it was obvious.
