Sure, that's the conventional wisdom but it seems like you're missing that this is quite literally exactly what they said about Walz and Harris and we already know how that played out. I'm not sure how many times we have to do this the safe way before people start to understand that the safe option isn't what people want.

Howso? That's not what I saw at all.

It is what most people want. There is a fraction of a percent of the population who wants the exact same outcome as you. Most of them just wanna mind their own business and try to be a good neighbor.

You're not going to radicalize 80 million people. Until the electoral mechanism is changed, you're going to have to find the 80 million voter bloc that offends you the least and caucus with them.
