Is there any evidence to support the claim that ultra-progressives caused Harris to lose?
@politicalmemes
Quick google search and you can for it yourself.
I’ll just post the very first link

*Perceived* leftward shift. The Democrats aren't that left wing in the first place. If democrats are going to be perceived as too left wing regardless of reality, they might as well take on some left-wing policies, so they can at least bribe voters with stuff that obviously and immediately makes things better for them like UBI.
If you're suggesting throw LGBTQ people under the bus, that is just wrong. What would we be fighting for at that point?
@politicalmemes
I did my part in trying to elect Harris.
What is the point in moderating if even after moderating Democrats are perceived as too left-wing?
@politicalmemes
Then what are you bothering me for? I’m obviously not talking about you then.
