**Moderating:**

@Saint_Cad has a point, though he should have just flagged the thread, that we’re getting farther afield of the OP than appropriate. Discussing whether a specific individual, including a fellow poster (especially one who isn’t a Democrat per the OP) does or does not support a specific Democrat for office doesn’t say much about how _Democatic_ voter turnout is capped/can be improved. I’ve been following the thread and the discussion is quite heated, and has had a strong tendency to refight 2024. It’s not fully off-topic, but I do agree with steering the discussion back to the OP - have we reached a cap of turnout for the Democratic party (at least as currently organized ideology and otherwise), or are there factors that can improve it. And as always, attack the Post, not the Poster.
