    Try not to act surprised when you do nothing to elect leftist candidates locally and at the state level next year.

    The party protects anti-choice NRA stooge candidates like Cuellar, but refuses to protect incumbent progressives like Bowman and Bush.

      The party does. And feeble-minded armchair leftists cosplayers sit around bickering about whos the truest scotsman until 6 months before the next presidential election and act surprised that nobody wants to engage with their top-down approach to political revolution

        So the party does everything it can to lock out the left and you blame the left for not being able to start from the bottom.

            Spoken like someone who effortlessly gets everything they want from the party.

          Is it surprising to you that those in power act to keep themselves in power? If it is surprising maybe it’s time to brush up on your theory. Das Kapital may be the seminal work on the topic, but as a California native i think Huey P Newton is more relevant to modern American life and better illustrates how bottom-up organization is more effective for creating actual change

            No. It shouldn’t have surprised me that centrists would blame the left for the actions of centrists to fuck them over, either.
