Bernie and AOC have a national platform, an energized base, and the infrastructure to gather small donations. Now they need winnable policies to back. It seems impossible in the MAGA-controlled government — unless they turn to state ballot initiatives.
Right back to the “I know you are, but what am I?” approach to politics.
Peewee Herman would be proud.
You claim that “giving up”, when I’m literally the one advocating for action, while you are advocating for “doing nothing different”. Then when I point out your disgusting cynicism, you claim that I’m the cynic.
Your approach is to give up because changing the DNC from the inside is too hard and you think you tried once so you’re giving up.
My approach is to take the hard road but also the only road that leads to actual change and not throwing away my vote while fascists claim uncontested rule for the next three decades because Democrats hurt your fee fees by not making Bernie president that one time.
That’s why you’re a cynic. You’ve decided to flip the board and not play anymore because you didn’t get your way like a petulant toddler throwing a temper tantrum instead of pulling up your big boy pants and primarying the old guard Democrats so we can actually get shit done. And no they aren’t just going to roll over and let you take their power so you have to fight for it.
You are precisely why the Democrats have continuously gone backwards for a decade. Your rhetoric, your entire approach to politics: its why Democrats are a failed project. You are both the source and sink of the failure. You are why progressives need to leave the party. We’ll have more power without the party, if you are going to be the way that you are. We’ll have a better chance at moving Democrats without you in the room.
And I truly, and wholeheartedly, I appreciate you making it this obvious.
Bro you have no approach. You are just a clown with no agency, who needs the analgesic of “strategic voting” to wash their hands of the fact that they are part and parcel to why fascism has subsumed American politics.
Whatever you need to tell yourself to convince yourself you’re not a cynic bud. Enjoy your delusions.
Why would I trouble myself with what a spoiler like you thinks?
This is just putting you on display.

Thank you for acknowledging how wrong you were. It shows growth on your part. It the future, just keep opinions like the ones you are sharing here to yourself.
Lol. Boy you look pathetic.
Pathetic is throwing an election because you couldn’t find common cause with progressives. But again, I do want to thank you for at least recognizing that you need to do better. I appreciate that you’ll be keeping your toxic perspective to yourself from now on.
