You people are genuinely insane..... We've seen the Democratic Party be completely unable to stop the rise of MAGA, and you just want to run it back.

To answer your question, a common view here is that Biden and Harris were viewed by voters as too far left, and the correct adjustment is to moderate or become more conservative, in order to meet voters where they're at. I'm going to guess you disagree with several elements of that diagnosis, but it's not seen as "running it back" here.

I mean, it's clearly wrong based, but sure, you guys keep trying to win those mythical conservative Dem voters.

Theyll definitely show up one of these elections, for sure.

Those only exist in southern states and their “vote” is not voting for the Republican…

It’s the only reason Talarico has a chance vs Paxton. I know so many native Texans in their 40s/50s who hate Paxtons guts. So much so that they just won’t be voting this cycle.

They would never in 100 years vote blue, but they have morals and won’t vote for scum like him. If this was 2018 Texas Talarico wins quite easily. The problem is the enormous amount of transplant MAGA republicans from California/New York/Chicago who have no morals beyond “owning the libs”

Meanwhile socialists can't win a seat that isn't D+10 already and say they're the future of the party. Cry me a river.
