At the beginning of the previous article — (Part 3a/9) Why Vote “Blue No Matter Who” If Centrist Dems Never Play to Win? — I noted that it is stunning how little Centrist Democrats have delivered for voters over the past 20+ years.

We talked about how Centrist Dems never really seem to “play to win” on issues that matter. They barely try. The efforts they make are weak and timid. They lose. They make excuses.

What’s even worse than that?
