(Admittedly, some of the following is that I'm a liberal/civil-libertarian who's lived in red/swing states almost all my life, but I also tend to feel that for the Democratic party to embrace policies/a platform that will make it less safe for people who lean left (or more to the point who fall into those demographics outside "white working-class") to live in red states is going to exacerbate the "liberals/Democratic voters fleeing to the coasts" problem and make it harder to win the EC. Going for a short-term vote grab that pulls the party rightward--- especially on life-or-death issues like reproductive rights--- risks making things worse in the long run.)

Can I plaster this on the forehead of every BernieBro, and also of my well-meaning liberal friends who keep making noises about things like California seceding? Because, yes to all of it.
