Like Americans need to realize that not primarying democrats means they feel safe with your vote and are thus incentivized to prioritize seeking republican voters.

Americans liberals think that everyone but them is a Republican. And, therefore, you must trick the Republicans into voting for you be appearing to be better at Things Republicans Care About than the actual Republican on the ballot.

Clinton, Obama, and Biden all did conservative pastiche and won. Therefore, Americans would never vote for a Limousine Liberal rainbow flag hugger from Fake America’s richest city if he was talking shit about veterans and fucking prostitutes in his free time. You’ve got to put John Kerry in a hunting jacket if you want to win Ohio. You need Bernie Sanders to denounce everyone in Cuba. Make Kamala Harris go on Hot Ones alongside Joe Rogan. You can’t step off a plane with your name on it or ride down a golden escalator, like some kind of out-of-touch elitist. You sure as hell can’t glad-hand the President of China or - god fucking forbid - North Korea. Anyone who did those things would lose in a landslide, purely because Real Americans hate it.

You have to play it safe. Only the safest candidates will win. That’s why Jeb Bush was Hillary Clinton’s biggest threat in 2016.
