Qvait you are just proving my point, you don't understand middle America you live in a very left-wing part of the country. Look at the map of state control, it's overwhelmingly red. For every young voter you may get how many independents do you lose? How many middle ground voters do you lose when you win one left-wing one. The left will always vote for the Dems, why piss about giving them control when you need the middle ground to win? If Dems want to risk giving the party up to the left then they can do so, but when President Trump is re-elected they should know that they allowed it to happen.
