I will point out that the plan was *always* to get ~60% of the country far left or far right, then take the "centrists" e.g. neofascists from *both parties* and create a "Unity Party* that completed the fascist takeover.
I'll also point out that the Democrats routinely say self-destructive shit like this just before elections they know they'll win *precisely* so they don't win *too much* and can rehash the whole "if you'd just given us another Senator!" bullshit
