So moving farther to the right is key to winning in 2026? [View all]

This is the impression I'm getting from Chuck Schumer, James Carville and Gavin Newsome.

Personally, moving to the right has helped Democrats lose elections not win them.

I also want to mention that anything trans?"woke" related was only brought up on the news/social media/right wing media, not Democratic candidates.

Talk me down.
