    Makes sense. You gotta win to be able to do anything and being anti fracking will probably lose you pa no?

    Vibe it all the way. Who cares. Better than the alternative.

      I mean that’s established political wisdom: establish yourself as a progressive in the primaries and then move towards the centre for the general. That has been the democratic playbook for many elections. And it kinda makes sense: You need the base for the primary but those voters alone are not enough for the general.

      Biden was actually an outlier in that regard. He actually moved left in his campaign rhetoric after Bernie dropped out.
