Democrats fall in love. Republicans fall in line.

Assuming the people here are being genuine, the people replying to you show how true it is.

If we absolutely destroyed the Republican party the Overton window would move left leaving the Dems as the right wing party and opening the door for others. But they can't see the long term view.

My view is that we vote as far left as feasible, keep getting involved in primaries, keep being engaged, and once we stomp out the more dangerous threat we can duke it out. But we all think we know best and I can't make anyone else take my view.
