    I’m saying that the center isn’t where the voters are hiding. They’ve gotten dragged into the Republican vortex, and it’s working in the republicans favor. I do get what you’re saying though. The left in this current state of being does need to vote blue no matter who, but I think the dems are leaving votes out on the table by trying to appeal to a group of people who hasn’t existed for a long time: swing voters who might vote blue, or might vote red, they’re just not sure yet. They need to start asking “How do we get the voters who just… Aren’t”

      As bizarre as we find it, swing voters do exist. And they are worth double because it’s a vote taken away from the other party and a vote for you. That’s who they go for because the left never shows up.

        You’re both right, but I’d love to see some actual data showing who is more right.

        Based on anecdotal evidence I would guess they are much more correct, and the segment you’re talking about exists but is pretty tiny.
