Like, you can pick a number and make this argument in either way.
I'll give you another example, okay?
So since 2018, a central task has been to flip red congressional seats to blue, right?
That's a central task in the Trump era.
Crucial, crucial task.
The House New Democrats have backed candidates and invested in candidates who flipped 50 seats.
Our Revolution, right, and Justice Democrats, two of the most prominent left-wing groups associated with Piker and Bernie and AOC, et cetera, have flipped literally zero.
Well, that tells you where voters are at.
Voters are saying, I want the moderate candidate with the moderate vision.
That's how they flip 50 seats.
But I don't want a voter with a left-wing vision.
Is it true that there are deep left places in the United States where you can make even more blue?
But that's not the central political challenge of our time.
If you want to beat MAGA is to make blue places bluer.
