    If a handful of online “lefties” can undo Democrats’ billion dollars of advertising, then that sounds like you’re agreeing that Dems are mind-blowingly incompetent at messaging.

    If Dems can’t win until everyone matches in lockstep with no disagreement then either Dems need to fall in line with their base, or get ready for a third Trump term.

    P.S. Democrats are a centrist party (at best). It shouldn’t be surprising that Leftists don’t consider them left enough. Why does the existence of Leftists anger moderates so much?

      They aren’t the ones who are undoing the achievements. The rich rightwingers are doing it. They employ a bunch of different channels, including some amount of useful idiots on the left, who are doing their bidding without understanding.
      The right can do it because they aren’t bound by any morals, or adherence to decorum, or fear of retaliation, or fear of change in general. Dems are the party of moderate gradual adherence to status quo and maybe moderate change for slightly better, if it’s not too bothersome. And the left for some reason hates the second more that the first, so they aren’t helping.

      I agree with you. and power to the people we should be able to express our will over that of some rich guy.

      I also agree that Democrats are eccentric party and we do not treat the far left very well. I just consider you to weigh the impact of your vote in the future.

      I really don’t want to have to go defend Canada for my own country next time if I could. I’m sure you have other wants to.

        Can you tell me why any time I express the slightest criticism of the Democrats, a Democrat has to lecture about voting? I did not say anything about how I voted.

          Because VBNMW is the Blue MAGA mantra to deflect any criticism from a candidate who is racist, sexist, queerphobic, because the other guy is a bit more racist, sexist, and queerphobic.
