Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”

You know, it kind of feels like the Platner thing is more or less a Bluesky versus X, The Everything App forum war, but a fairly one sided one because everyone I’ve seen on here is sincere in their rejection of him
