If the republicans were running on anything like a platform with ideas and policy proposals and the like, then maybe the endless criticism for the Dems to move to the center would make sense.

But the republicans don't have policies. Or ideas. Take the VA governor's race, e.g.: that entire race can be summed up in one buzz phrase: critical race theory. Which isn't taught in any elementary, middle or high school in America.
The republicans tried to paint a middle-off-the-road, highly qualified Black female jurist as soft on kiddie porn during the SCOTUS confirmation hearing. Despite the fact that her judicial record is in line with republican appointees all over the country.
The GOP is out of ideas, so they're running a smear and grievance campaign. I wish our Bulwark friends would tell us where on the political spectrum the Dems could move to counter that. I'm all ears.
The Republicans are winning because of one entity and that is #FoxNews. I do not know WHY @JoeBiden is not shuttering Fox and kicking Murdoch out of the US. Fox News is destroying American Democracy!
I wish our Friends on the Bulwark would turn their energies to actually advising Democrats in how they can expose Republicans more effectively. It's clear that the GQP has become the party of zero work ethic, where do-nothing Republican Reps and Senators never legislate on anything. They spend their time and energy running after fake news stories trying to paint Demorcrats as being as foolish as they are. Hey GQP - Democrats don't run around with hair on fire screaming about Q-Anon Conspiracies! The Bulwark needs to tell Republicans to get THEIR house in order.
I couldn't agree more, Victoria. Democrats have not had the messaging machine - nor the killer instinct - that republicans have when it comes to winning elections. That's why, even though they represent a minority of the country, republicans remained competitive.
I love the folks here at the Bulwark, and I appreciate hearing their points of view even when I don't entirely agree. It finally feels like conservatives and non-conservatives can exchange opinions without rancor. But, you're right, fellow current/former republicans need to talk some sense to their own - because the republicans sure as hell won't listen to anybody else.

Do you read Jennifer Rubin in the WaPost? She doesn't good job of advising the dems.
I do. I like Jen Rubin!
