Are we at the point where Democrats start blaming progressives for Biden losing? Remember, this time we’re calling them commies, not Bernie Bros.
That would be every point since the party went all in on neoliberalism in 1992. The leadership and its lickspittles are still convinced that the policy stances, strategies and tactics that worked back then (including acting like the increasingly rare "independent centrist" is 100% of persuadable voters) are perfect, so everyone who disagrees in either direction must be wrong with malicious intent.
This is exactly right... They keep chasing an ever shrinking "center", moving further and further to the right to try and scrape a few soft Rs over to their side, while ignoring basically the majority of the next 2 generations (progressives)... Or worse, spitting in our faces and telling us to shut up and take it. If they'd just embrace progressives they'd still get all those centrist liberal votes (those are the people telling us to vote blue no matter who after all) AND they'd get most of the next generations... The Republican party would be gone in 3 generations... But of course they'd have to give up their cushy retirement gigs giving speeches to their corporate sugar daddies
antisemitic commies*
Oh! What about homophobic antisemitic commies? You know, because Israel does the absolute minimum of not lining gays up against a wall. For now.
