    At the moment, we’re dealing with a party that would rather lose than listen. I want to get them to listen.

      If you engineer meaningful risks and consequences for the party, they will HAVE to listen to you.

      If you only plan to beg them politely, they could choose to ignore you. Whether or not they listened to you in this case would be completely at the pleasure of the party.

          Oh yea, which risks and consequences have you engineered for your truant representatives that they continue ignoring you?

            Anyone who represents me lower than VP is a Republican. Democrats made sure of that when they pulled the funding of the progressive who was running in my district.

            At the moment, just getting the party to put forward someone other than Biden is a win. I’m not in a position to engineer shit and neither are you.
