• And who do they draw from? The active base. If the complaints are loud enough, broad enough, from inside the party, that’s when they will have no choice.

    “Oh there’s the dnc, can’t do anything, move on” is not a productive way to fight these things.

      Neither is “The other side is worse, guess the DNC gets to do whatever the fuck they want.” If I only have two choices, then I’m going to be loud and annoying when those choices aren’t acceptable to me. I don’t care what you say.

      • I didn’t say don’t be loud, I’m saying don’t be a useful idiot for the other side at the same time. Apparently you want to misunderstand the point completely.

        Fuck up the DNC libs, establishment democrats, etc! From the inside of possible.

        Just don’t play into the hands of the Nazis by using rhetoric that makes their job of “pretending to not be the worst humans possible” easier.

          But the dems make it so easy for them when they all endorse a genocide. “That guy’s the devil! He’d let his friends eat babies! What? No don’t worry about my friend eating babies. They didn’t do that, but if it was it was justified. And if it wasn’t, it was an accident. And if it wasn’t then it was justified.”

          Demand better. From the outside. I’m not a Democrat. I can’t do anything from the inside. I vote for them because they are the closest, usually, to my beliefs. This time both parties feel equally, very far away from me. You’re not required to agree with me. You just can’t bully me into voting for someone who I find morally reprehensible.
