No better proof that for some, progressivism is a religion, than when you see how willing they are to lose elections rather than abandon the principles. Dents have been made, but fundamentalists remain.

Could be the audience too. More activists have votes, including a number of “the groups”. At least I hope that’s the explanation.

Also many of the 448 were chosen by state parties. That automatically means at least half were chosen for physical phenotypes. Let’s hope they do t foreshadow future candidates any more than Rience Prebus’ selection foreshadowed Trump in 2016.

For me, one of the main reasons that the Democrats lost this past election was that they "played" to the outside edges of the party. The Republics did also, but not as much.

Both parties, but for this election, the Democrats especially, forget that elections are won in the middle.

I'm not sure what a Democrat platform would be, without social justice and identity politics. They would be left with "not Maga". Which, granted, if you wedded it to economic centrism, might be a political winner. But the religious Dems would be very upset.
