    What’s your alternative to the Dems?

    Better Dems…

    Why do you think the baby needs thrown out with the bathwater?

    If our only standard is the letter by a name, that’s going to end up with us being represented by people we do t agree with.

    That hurts Dem turnout.

    That lets republicans have political power.

    I just don’t get why “Dems should run candidates dem voters agree with” is always treated as some crazy idea and it would destroy the party.

    Like, why change every voter instead of changing the politicians?

      It’s not a crazy idea, or at least it wasn’t.

      What’s a crazy idea is thinking that the dems running better candidates is relevant after ushering in fascism.

        Plan A, B, and C.

        Never just have one plan.

        Never give up on an option till it’s truly ruled out. And never solely focus on a single option at a time.

        If Biden had followed that millenia old advice, we’d be in a better position. But just because he didn’t, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t as well.
