squishy center "independents" who don't consistently vote Democratic. Hardcore magas have a ceiling in their electoral ability. Posts like Bateman's (and sandra_k_paintings') alert the wishy washy voters of who they don't want to be lumped with. Hopefully. The odds of them becoming more solidly Democratic are higher than magas jumping ship.
