[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5129877, member: 48469"] Why wouldn’t they? The Democrats have shown their hand to moderates who voted against Trump but not for hard-left extremism in 2020. And the Democrats are now all-in on trying to backdoor the Bernie Sanders agenda, which would have lost them the last Presidential election for sure. The best thing that could happen to Democrats in 2024 is a Trump vs Michelle Obama or Oprah matchup. Outside of something like that they’re pretty boned.
