I've seen good takes of yours and generally respect you, but I don't like this one. Too much doomerism leads to doing nothing and sitting out the moment.
Of course. And then radicalize supporters against the establishment more. "You elected me to get these things done, but these corrupt neoliberal ghouls defy the will of the masses!" Or if he won't, then others can.
They do this anyway! No matter what progressives do the Dem establishment will always punch left. They do not care about truth.
We may as well take the symbolic win and do something with it.
Everything is going to get worse whether we fight or not. The important thing is to let people see socialists, even "democratic" socialists, fighting for them. You don't win friends and allies by standing by and not trying to help them. You do it by sticking your neck out for them. Waiting for the "perfect" moment to start fighting for the masses means it'll never happen.
That's fair.
