You’re getting downvoted but you’re seeing the big picture.

The way elections work now, Democrats know they don’t have to cater to coastal cities. They got the big EC votes in the bag as long as they pay minimal lip service

Not so much because “vote blue no matter who”, moreso “republicans are verifiably, objectively evil and the system is rigged to prevent a third party from succeeding, so this is the only choice”.

No, the real battle is the purple states.

When you consider the current media landscape (and mainly the fact that nearly all local and national broadcast and print media is owned by pedos or pedo sympathizers?", I sincerely do not think that a progressive message will be able to penetrate that information bubble deep enough to get the state.

So they gotta cast a net that appeals to a majority of those voters.

Which is probably not possible with a PoC or any body who sits to pee, which is another problem all together.
