    Thanks for providing something closer to an articulation of a solution…

    Although I’m not sure disengagement from the (corrupt and intentionally ineffectual) two party system does much more than to continue to disenfranchise left voices - absent substantial momentum towards 3rd-spaces not present (or being built) today.

    I think I basically agree with everything else you have written. But your tone comes across poorly, to me at least.

      Again, where is that being advocated for? The point I’ve been explicitly making is that defending Democrats from criticism is counter productive. And no, I’m not blaming the two party system for this. I’m explicitly blaming the “ABWD/ BlueMAGA” culture around the Democratic party. Its the problem. We could have beaten Trump, easily, if this were not the dominant paradigm (at least at the time) in the Democratic party.

      But your tone comes across poorly,

      I don’t care. Because almost exclusively, its BlueMAGA/ ABWD that have a problem with it, and the they’re the barrier to stopping fascism in this country and have been the entire time.
