hard disagree. every progressive I know is ready for a dirty fucking fight.
and this advice, fellow internet peeps, is how you lose elections to fascists.
I consider myself a progressive, and I want that fight. I want the Democrats to show some spine.
exactly. the only ones that have shown spine in the Democratic caucus thus far have been progressives.
people mistake activism to move the party in a better direction as "peeling off progressives over wedge issues". its bullshit.
those same progressives that abhor the current genocidal orgy in Gaza are the same ones that will fight with their lives to protect their socially and poitically vulnerable family, friends and neighbors.
everyone I persoanlly know that self identifies "left" is begging for a goddamn smackdown of these fascists. these are the people that will bring the heat, light and energy at the community level to a depressingly limp Democratic party.
This is exactly what he was saying though, isn't it? Biden literally used the sotu a few weeks ago to publically call them clowns and you just ignored it. You have a narrative in your head you want to be true, so you'll seek out whatever you need to make it that way. It's a waste of time to pursue your vote. It's already decided.
