    I don’t want to discourage you, she seems like a worthy candidate. It’s this “even if they did nothing” talk that grabs me. The average dem voter is so accustomed to weakness that we’re starting to sound like a battered partner.

      You’re not wrong. The Democratic strategy for the past what? 35 years now has been to constantly engage in “hippie punching” to try to seem more reasonable to so-called “moderates” by criticizing the Far Left™. So in a sense one could say that the left has been stuck in an abusive relationship for a long time.
