Well, I generally don't have much interest in biopics. But for this particular movie, I heard a couple interviews and reviews talking about the content, and decided "Ugh! I am NOT INTERESTED in that -at all-.!"

A long time ago I had a Facebook account. Facebook threw me off by forcing me to go to 2-factor, and none of their 2nd factor mechanisms were acceptable to me. But I had been growing increasingly disgusted with Facebook when used to support 'latest posts' (by connections) for their fucking algorithm recommended posts. There are a few people I used to talk to on Facebook that I miss, otherwise I'm happy to be free of Meta. (And I have all Meta IP addresses blocked at my firewall. The local NPR station app tries to contact Facebook every couple of minutes. They still owe me an answer 'why', the last I heard was "we'll ask the vendor.")

Your brevity makes your intention unclear, My point was why I have zero interest in that movie, and by extrapolation why I think most people have zero interest in that movie. The focus of the referenced article was 'audience reaction', and the starting element of audience reaction is a desire to watch the movie in the first place.

Why is it never the Republicans who have to appeal to moderates?

You say that as if it's a negative for Democrats. But consider the growth of independents, and how many (of us) are -former Republicans-. And then look at the (appallingly bad) Democratic candidates for the last several Presidential elections. The Progressives are right about one thing: It's the Democratic Establishment that has failed not just the party, but the country. The last time I actually voted for someone, as opposed to against the other person for national office was 2016.

When Democrats start nominating candidates who lean towards the middle, and who abandon the politics of identity for policies that appeal across racial/social lines, they'll start winning competitive elections and even start to swing formerly Red districts (look at Texas Senate!), and then have an opportunity to govern. And I think we're starting to see cracks in the MAGA dominated Republican Party. Those will continue in 2028. It'll take a long time to recover from the bi-polar politics we currently have.
