Whoever we nominate, there's no reason to "go to the center" after the convention.

[Ken Burch]

The voters don't want us to blur the differences, there aren't any votes we could get from anyone to the right of where we are in the primaries, and the only way we can win in the fall is by building mass enthusiasm...something "centrist" campaigns are incapable of doing.

Instead, we need to reach out to independents whoare more progressive than our party, by ceasing to run as a party of the status quo and by admitting that it is valid to question white supremacy, greed, and militarism.

That's how we grow a victory in the fall.

1. If the nominee is Hillary, she is perfectly at home center right.

If she says anything to the contrary, she will be lying, and people will know that.
I believe she would take the "who the fuck else are they gonna vote for" approach to anyone to the left of center, and kiss up to the right.

And, if president - a lot less liberal than Obama.

3. +1

2. What little movement Hillary has seemed to make to the left

will quickly be reversed in the general if she gets the nomination. It's in her nature and historically proveable with her.

4. They may provide us with "reasons"

But there is no actual leftward movement in the party establishment at the moment. It's like they all lost their imaginations and are just phoning it in.

5. Hillary would have to move pretty far to the Left

to make it to the center.

6. Bernie won't go to the center.
