    restoring some sanity

    Yeah, that’s a 2010 Jon Stewart rally.

    You’re literally trying the same failed tactics as 15 years ago.

    It’s hilarious that you think somehow it’s impossible to claim even the Democratic Party, but you’re somehow going to change the country.

      I didn’t claim any such thing. I agree that voting for farther left candidates in the primaries is important, but to abstain from voting for Democrats at all is just downright stupid and I think you know that.

        I didn’t say don’t vote for Democrats at all.

        I say don’t vote for any that aren’t progressives if the progressive loses the primary. Punish the party for attempting to push right - the same way the “moderates” (neo-liberals) do with the left.

          “Elect Republicans if the Democrats aren’t progressive enough” is certainly a take, a really fucking dumb take that has no understanding of our political system, but a take.
