“There is near-universal agreement … that the party needs to expand its tent and appeal to more moderate and independent voters.” They could - I don’t know - appeal to their own voters AND independent voters left of center, win AND keep their values intact. Just a thought.

My day job is residential real estate: it’s hard to ignore what Trump’s tariff fumbling has done to the bond markets & how that affects mortgage rates. They’re back at 7.5% - erasing a couple Fed rate cuts. In the UK they’re at 3.8-4.8% & dropping. In the EU they’re 3.3% and dropping.
