    MAGA types are the ‘fall in line’ type, so it’s really hard to run candidates that appeal to them. Their Preacher and AM Shock Jock tells them ‘vote for the Republican or the Devil wins and America dies’ and they don’t entertain anyone but the Republicans. It’d be wasted resources. It’s far more effective to appeal to moderates, because the GOP has basically forsaken that entire group of voters to entertain their MAGA base, and we have over 200 Republicans on our side saying “we don’t agree with the Dems on policy, but we’re still voting for them because we aren’t MAGAts.” That’s a more effective strategy, IMO, than trying to prop up Libertarians or Constitutionalists.

    The way to deal with the ‘backwater toothless bigots’ is to turn out for November. Get your vote locked in, then do your damndest to get as many Left-Wingers to the polls as possible. I don’t care where you are. Turn out and vote. That’s how we fucking deal with them.
