No Labels is just middle right former Republicans who aren't quite on the "SIEG HEIL DER FUHRER TRUMP" train. Unfortunately the Republican party is full blown the Nazi party now and so are 99% of their voters.

Not sure if this would hurt democrats or republicans more.
Could this steal away "moderate" republicans who would never vote democrat? Or does this give an "out" for republicans who voted dem last time?
Haven't we seen enough evidence on this forum of the bed wetters? Why can't Dems coalesce on one target like the Pubs?

3 reasons:

1. Dems want stuff (but it gets blocked)
2. Dems are a coalition party of many groups (not all wanting the same thing)
3. Dems have their fair share of stupid peeps too who think voting for Cornel West means something.

Mostly 2... when one of two parties becomes hyper focused on one hot button issue that not everyone agrees with, you end up ostracizing anyone else. As a result, your opponent ends up attracting everyone else, and most of those people don't agree with each other on many topics, but how do you attract people from that pile enough to get actual voters?

No fucking way.
When you dig into the numbers from that "not drawn to scale" graph, Sinema's own estimates only give her 32 - 42% preference across the 3 voting blocks. She's distrusted by republicans, hated by democrats, and only has notable support with the 1/3 of the electorate who identify as independents. She doesn't seem like the type of candidate who will inspire independent turnout. She's damaged goods.
