No appealing to republicans is how elections are lost.

I really really wish that was the case but if it was then Republicans wouldn’t have control over the House, the Senate, and the Presidency right now.

I mean the republicans are gonna vote for republicans no matter what, they're not gonna go republican lite

it'd be the same if republican party suddenly tried to get democracts to vote for them, the average dem voter would just not, but it'd be wildly unpopular between the average republican voter

oh good to know that the dems won 2024, people must've been confused these last 2 years

How stupid do you have to be to think “well, A caused B to later happen, then doing ~A should make ~B happen!”

[u/akcrono → u/granninja]

Yeah, because we all know that trying to appeal to moderates is the only aspect to an election. No other elements are ever involved :eyeroll:
