    One, that is a very long way of saying the idea you’re bringing to the table is don’t vote - and I’ve already said what I think about that.

    And yes, I understand this would likely mean some really shitty years, but that’s the cost to make Democrats understand they need their base.

    Two, that’s a bit of an understatement considering just one highlight of Trump’s last presidency was rigging the SCOTUS towards being openly corrupt and against the people for literally decades to come.

      You clearly didn’t read it then, we’re done here.

      And in the meantime those groups need to keep voting and keep fighting to get progressives in every position they can. They just need to be disciplined about not backing corporate candidates, they need to be unelectable.

        Yeah, I did see that section, but given that a “corporate” candidate is already the democrat nominee, that also amounts to not voting in this election - or voting for independents, which I have also made my opinion known on - so there was no point in talking about that.

          There’s more than the presidency on the ballot. People should vote, they should just refuse to vote for any right-wing candidate forced on them by the DNC. That’s why you vote even when Dems nominate a Republican, to send that message.

          There’s only one way to teach the DNC that corporate conservative dems are unelectable, and that’s to consistently deny them wins in primaries and in the general if necessary.
