But everyone should also understand that the US is going to be bombarded with "vote blue no matter who" and the Dem slate is going to be hugely corporate and soporific. So that WILL be the choice, the only choice D's will offer. You're not going to get rid of Jeffries nor improve him.

Yes, unfair. But reality is not required to offer fair options.
In the meantime, maybe we can be active in isolating all MAGAts in our own lives.
No more beatifying Liz Cheneys. No inviting the racist uncle to Thanksgiving.
People need to treat the primaries as the most important elections for the next couple years. THAT is where we can find people with traditional dem/liberal views who ALSO recognize the GOP needs to be destroyed forever.
Vote in the primaries people!
Listen, I don’t know what to tell you if you want to be a defeatist about this. Me, I’m gonna fight
The rest, I agree. If not for anything, then because a big tent that included Liz Cheney and catapulted her to to front of the line was embarrassingly ineffective.
You are not in power. But you're going to get the money out from "both sides," including the side that wields power *because* of the money.
Note, this is not an argument against "money in politics is bad," rather a reality.
You cannot gain power without money.

I stand by my comments as written.
There simply aren't enough leftists in the US to gain real power without being willing to coalition build.
No fake progressives or people whose main goal is to criticize Dems.
The stuff Biden did and tried to do was great. He could have done more with more people who recognized the danger of the GOP and were not afraid of the media going after them.
Shut the fuck up and stay gone for good.
We don't need fake progressives. That is what got us trump in 2016 and helped him again this time.
We do need REAL progressives or liberals or even reasonable Dems who recognize they need to oppose the GOP in every way possible and work together to do so.
The current Constitution is working as designed.
Designed by rich, white, slave-banging, males who explicitly forbade the participation of women, Blacks, and the poor in matters of governance.
They have shit on every possible voting block
Our system doesn’t work for the masses. Never has or will.
But the damage would've been a lot less had she won.
