Wisconsin Watch's coverage of the WisDems convention in Madison this past weekend. No paywall.

In my opinion the framing of this as a "classic debate" further highlights the repeated failure of the democratic party to understand* that they need to court people who are apathetic; in other words people who don't typically vote rather than attempt to target "centrist" voters who in theory might vote for either party. As showcased by Harris' campaign, this alienates progressives and others who are left of center.

*to rescind the benefit of the doubt, this is not a failure to understand but a deliberate tactic by controlled opposition to continue to force the overton window right.
