This is a whole genre for the Times, writing a glowing profile of a supposed progressive who turned out to just be a ladder climber. For example, writing about a party that David Shor threw. It’s like they enjoy rubbing it in our faces that these empty dudes turned their back on us.

The vast, vast majority of Democratic voters are propelled by Dems’ fundamental case about Trump’s unfitness, and notions about justice and fairness and democracy. But rather than work to improve this already-powerful case. Dems say “forget all that. Let’s only talk about things swing voters like”

i'm so sick of establishment gaslighting—of both the political and media varieties. there are good [young!!!!] candidates with enthusiasm and support and i refuse to buy into their "better things aren't possible" mindset. fuck that.

Everyone who has ever voted for or been involved in Democratic politics has had to make this same compromise (be in a tent with people who hate you and believe that millions of people are subhuman), the differential way this gets applied to DSA and the left more broadly pisses me off.
