I'm advocating for appealing to their most base desire, which is bullshit identity stuff. A sadly large amount of people would vote for a white man just because it's a white man. The policies themselves could be pretty progressive.

From the people who seriously expected you to buy "biden is the most progressive president since FDR" and "I'm a progressive who gets things done."

Maybe if the party would quit trying to pass off centrism as progressive, I'd buy that.

Concession accepted.
