But don't forget that every "distraction" is a distraction from Trump's corruption and his connection to the Epstein files.

This is what I keep telling people.
Republicans being evil doesn't mean that Democrats are good. Republicans are evil and Dems are lesser evil. Republicans break things and Dems normalize the damage.
Both parties work for their wealthy donors, not average Americans.

If Dems can make room for the guy who dragged us into the "War On Terror" and tortured innocent people, they'll make room for anyone.

"Spending commitments"? *Extravagant* spending commitments?
Society is failing because the "important people" are more worried about shareholder profits than actual benefits or injuries. These people will burn the world to ashes to get more cash.

Yep. Standing by and doing nothing won't save Dems from public backlash.
Their job is to protect people -- which includes stopping your coworkers from going too far.
And nobody give me any crap about how they can't. It's way past time to start fighting dirty. Civility and norms be damned.

Option 4: They're completely insulated from consequences and their primary objective is to defend their protected status.
They're still secure even when Republicans win.
But if progressives ever get the upper hand...

"Our districts don't really overlap."
Jeffries has endorsed candidates in different *states*, let alone districts.
Pretty sure the lack of "overlap" he's referring to is *donors*.

Generally agree except conservatives are moving rightward all on their own. They're building the framework of fascism, but crudely.
Liberals come in afterwards to clean up and legitimize the rightward shift, making it the new "normal". The primary purpose of liberals is to block the left.

The irony of blaming their losses on racism while doing as little as possible to make things better.
Dems always make big promises before elections only to turn around and make excuses when they have power. (I mean, the Parliamentarian?! Seriously?!)
Liberal's real job is preserving the status quo.

No, it really is a class war. Racism is just one of the oldest, biggest, and easiest tools to have us fighting each other instead of the rich. Even if there was no such thing as racism, they would find something else to divide us.

First of all, Democrats are NOT "the left". Dems are center-right and continually moving to the right so they can appear "centrist" and "moderate".
Dem silence will NOT pick up progressive votes. Dem silence *enrages* progressives. Silence will only keep losing progressive votes.

This isn't a left vs right battle because the rich own both sides.
This is a class war. The only difference between the parties is the rate of descent into fascism.
Break the cycle. Primary every Dem that takes corporate/billionaire donations.

Carville is also the guy who thinks Dems should just roll over and play dead while Trump wrecks the country.
Consultants like him are why Dems lost.
His opinions should be ignored even when, like a broken clock, he accidentally gets it right.
