Think about it.
Say we got a group of patriot politicians, why run them in the Republican Party?
The Republican Party has no media, no power inside the government with FBI or CIA. Bad reputation. Hollywood hates them. On and on we can go with how the Republicans are useless resistance.
But if we had Patriots inside the Democrat Party, and then flip the Democrat Party to be more conservative. Then we could have something.
The democrat party of today would lynch JFK.
So no, fuck them. There is NO upward mobility unless you are a leftist or a compromised scumbag.
Your suggestion is just fucking ludicrous. You get nowhere with them unless you are them. That's why moderates are an endangered species in the DNC.
I was offered a post on the county democratic party executive committee, but all I would do is get in trouble running my mouth, I think they will not exist soon anyways
So like, damn near literally sell your soul on a chance that you can save the democrat party. Hard pass.
No you would still be conservative, but you would work within the Democrat Party.
A conservative in the Democrat Party would be more powerful than a conservative in the Republican Party.
I understand but from what I hear the democrat party has to have some serious leverage on you to even consider you.
I mean I’m not sure where you are getting that.
Democrat voters are dumb, and will vote for people just because they are Democrats in blue areas. Say your a Patriot conservative with lot of money raised from secret conservative donors. You blast all competition in the primaries. Win the general because it’s a blue area.
What the voters don’t realize is their decision is between two conservatives just one happens to have a D by their name.
Yeah, maybe.
The second you said the most remotely conservative thing they'd reeeeeeee you outta there.
That would all depend on strategy.
You could pretend to be a socialist the whole time, but write conservative legislation when in Congress, and then when asked about it pretend it helps the socialist movement.
Or you could just be straight forward and say you want the Democrat Party to be what it use to be without ever really saying you are a conservative.
