    Facing perhaps the most dangerous presidential administration in history and already planning on infighting… what the hell…

    There’s long been pressure that people that are a bit more left need to be strategically minded and work with what is there rather than get pissy because the candidates aren’t perfect. Well that cuts both ways, these are the candidates the people want and you need to work with them for the common good.

      All the progressives wanted was for us to not actively support genocide and that was dishonestly framed as “not perfect”. Thats where the real battle line is. You’ll notice that every candidate who comes up for the dems will be a zionism supporter, and there will be no candidate who supports universal human rights. Which is wildly out of step with what the voters think.

      I dont know why ‘not mass murdering’ is some sort of crazy high bar we just cant be allowed to get to, and anyone who talks about it is kicked out of Dem events.

      for the common good.

      I don’t think these people understand that phrase. They do what they’re paid the most to do.
