Shocker: a Democrat has a strategy to appeal to repubs disaffected by Repub disappointment #324121.
Happened after Nixon, happened after Reagan (to the point that the Democrats shifted their entire party to go a Third Way), happened after Dubya and the Great Recession, happened when Tea Party politics kicked into gear 2010-2014, and was happening in 2016 for Hillary against Trump with basically the same headline:

Mrs. Clinton has broadened her economic message, sought endorsements from G.O.P. influencers and pledged that her husband, popular with blue-collar voters, will work to create jobs.

I don't care. Whatever it takes. Get that orange turd out of the white house.
God, you are a massive sad nerd
Especially if you want to have coattails and take back the Senate and expand the house majority. Need to be big tent.
I agree he needs to come out stronger on cops and ICE, but I am not going to throw my vote away because he isn't exactly in line with all my issues.
Regarding Puerto Rico, here is his op ed:

Our president should be able to meet a simple test: understanding that Puerto Ricans are American citizens, and that they are entitled to — and deserve — the same support from the Unite…

The island has long been ignored by the federal government, so what does Joe Biden's plan mean for the people of Puerto Rico?

reports are in: dems are concerned that kasich isn't racist enough
Online leftists complain that winning an election by a larger margin and securing full Democratic control of Washington DC will somehow result in nothing changing for the better.
The silent majority nonsense that the online left keeps clinging to became tiring a long time ago. I wish it was true, but it isn't unfortunately.
Wonder what the Venn diagram looks like of people who are decrying this strategy but insisted Bernie appearing on Joe Rogan was a good thing.
As long as his campaign is only doing this in supplement of winning traditional Dem voters no one should have any reasonable objection to this, literally every campaign tries to win over disaffected voters from the other side and there's always a not-insignificant number of party switchers in every election. 2016 featured a number of Obama-Trump voters and Romney-Clinton voters, you're fooling yourself if you think neither of those camps were being deliberately swayed by the Clinton/Trump campaigns.

Eh when the republican party is not the republican party from 25-50 years ago it's probably a smart move.
A vote is a vote end of the day
I'm sorry if being a minority who has suffered under Trump makes me a massive sad nerd, but I don't care what you think with your armchair theatrics. Trump needs to go and I don't care how he gets booted out.
If you have not suffered under Trump, then you don't have the god damn right to say such bullshit to me.
It's the gif specifically, not your post, not every life or death situation has to be based around fictional superheroes
Its only funny to hear that this has to happen in order to win because of how tenuous this strategy works out for dems, AT BEST. Like youre in this position in the first place because this loser party lost to Trump to begin with. So spare us the high and mighty "you need to understand politics" talk. If you more consistently won elections and got results with this strategy a lot of people on the left might take this more seriously. But at best its been a short term, largely ineffective strategy that has ultimately paved the way with setting up some of the worst republican presidents. And once we accept this idea that we "need" these republicans then it will be used to justify why they cant do anything once elected, or else we lose these people next election. That argument doesn't have anywhere near the results people want you to believe it does when they put it forth to quell criticism.
You don't like it, you can skip right over it. Put me on ignore if you want, but you don't have to be an asshole about it.
Some of you getting irrationally mad about this realize he's reaching out to get their votes, not their ideas for how to run the country, right?
Best case scenario for this shithole country has always been to merely stifle progress instead of rolling it back. We knew this already though.
wonder what the venn diagram looks like of people who are completely ok with this strategy but insisted bernie appearing on joe rogan was a bad thing
like, even keeping the material differences of the two situations aside (in that there's a very real discussion that could be had about which of the two actions is worse), I can make a list in my head of a whole mess of people who said appearing on rogan's show was "empowering transphobia" but aggressively appealing to openly bigoted republicans is By Any Means Necessary. let's not pretend that only one group of people here has selective morals
Nah, they are night and day different now. At least in my eyes they are.
There's a difference between bringing everyone on board for a return to normalcy that neglected many Americans vs bringing everyone on board for class based politics.
Like we had the iraq start 20 years ago. Like come on. We gotta stop with this the Republicans party has changed shit. They been some nasty ass motherfuckers since like the 1970s
Of course he would. The DNC wants to keep grifting a donor base.
Sure gotta love woke social policy that distracts from economic policy which screws over the 99% of us!

That won't work. It never works. Republicans always fall in line. Don't let the current polls deceive you, it's going to get close as soon as Biden has to show his head and ramble around.
I'm not going to engage with you in this because we obviously see things differently and it will be a waste of our times as we won't make each other see what the other doesn't.
I'll just say Republicans were never "good" but siding with them now is siding with alot of open and foul shit you can't be excused for. I mean sure if you could find me a republican quote ewuivalent from the 80's that said kids were going to get a pandemic virus and they will tough it out at home or a republican president tear gassing and clubbing his own citizens outside the white house and maybe I'll change my mind. If they are the same they hid it well and had a shit ton more restraint.
In the past they were "sneaky smooth talking politicians" and now adays they can simply be labeled as wolves who don't even bother putting on the sheep's clothing anymore and straight up villians.
1) It can effect down ticket votes & 2) Most Americans are moderates and exist just left or just right and swap between party voting.
This I am not going to engage you but here is my take on your post is lame stuff. Don't waste mine time.
And bro remember the Republicans during the A.I.D epidemic? That doomef 10000s. Get out of here with that man

i find it funnier that the people freaking out over the Rogan endorsement being shared on Twitter are often the same ones gushing about every single Lincoln Project ad
Or Fox News or any of the numerous times he has tried to appeal to republicans directly. Shits so disingenuous.
Smart to go after the small sliver of racists that are embarrassed by trump instead of the 50 percent of americans that don't even vote. Don't have to compromise your politics with policies like M4A that way. /s
You don't have to, luckily. The President of the United States has no such luxury of ignoring his constituents.
Please explain the Lincoln Project. Yes they are still shit, but they aren't falling in line in the current Republican trajectory. They are targeting Republicans and asking them to not fall in line.
Republicans are bad, but this strategy isn't to win republicans - its to win "independents". Sometimes it doesn't work if the messaging is poor.
Also: This is to get votes, not to craft policy. Trump did this in 2016 and won a lot of independents. LGBTQ for Trump.
What a shitty thing to say to someone on ResetEra of all places. Grow up
You know that Biden is listening and adjusting his policies based on input from progressives, right?
And instead the strategy should be what... Focus on voters that will already pull the lever for you in November?
Brilliant!
What is the lesson, pray tell? Sanders appealed to the base... And he didn't even win the nomination of his own party. Is that the route the party should take?
Yes, and it's not enough imo especially in regards to healthcare.
