Edit: I went back, and TechRocks said something about dems running conservative candidates. Maybe he can chime back in and let us know if he thinks Lamb is a conservative.

Pretty clear, I think, that he believes Lamb to be conservative.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I hold both liberal and conservative positions on varying topics.

I think he used conservative when he meant moderate, but he's free to clarify.

And I agree, nothing wrong with that. If more democrats ran closer to Lamb than pro-socialism, pro-social justice nonsense, I think the tone in this country would greatly improve. Every race for local dog catcher wouldn't be framed as a historic battle in the culture war.

Do you also feel that some movement from the right could greatly improve the tone as well?

On what issues, exactly? The GOP disavows the alt-right (spencer, duke, etc.) while the dems embrace the alt-left (antifa, socialism, linda sarsar, tamika mallory, farrahkan).

I believe that in and of itself proves who needs to do the moving. So no, you can’t just keep moving farther and farther left, we stay the same, and then ask us to compromise farther left.
