    if you actually believe that, you would be demanding the dnc to reach across their own damn aisle tword the progressives, funny that you always demand the opposite.

      It’s possible to tell the DNC to reach across the aisle, while acknowledging that they’re still the better of the two current options even if they don’t.

      We have a phrase for when enforcing your demands hurts you the most: cutting off your nose to spite your face. Letting the actual fascists win hurts us more than the people you’re trying to strong-arm.

      Actually that is what I demand they do, but at that part where I finish my big speech with, “. . . right, everybody??” And turn around, you people are not there. And then they direct me to the centrists who did show up and I have to do it again.

      Right, that’s why I’m an inveterate opponent of Mamdani and a staunch supporter of Pelosi. You caught me.
