    It's a glorification of centrism, the Democratic party's favorite fast track to ruin, and Frum is talking about ideological issues. In my long experience, ideology counts for little with most voters, and the three issues below seem to be paramount.

    I suggest that Democrats focus on three issues:

    1. Senseless war.

    2. Widescale resistance to data centers. (NIMBYISM on a grand scale)

    3. Higher Prices, Much higher.

    These issues are really important and impactful for a wide cross section of the public, and by the way with progressives.

      I’m trying to understand your position here. Resistance to datacenters is like wildly bipartisan popular the other two are inversely so. I assume you’re trying to make a satirical point, but what is it?

        Trump ran against war, in fact, outright isolationism, and many on the right, albeit a minority, are sticking with isolationism. As more snafu's like the two Navy failures come to light, perhaps more. Nobody wants endless wars.

        And who is in favor of higher prices?

        Before there were data centers, these two sank many a presidency.
