    If you wanted something different you wouldn’t be taking this “my way or the highway” stance when you know you don’t have the votes to win.

    I’m asking for better candidates and action, not “fuck you vote for me or die”.

    If I show you an example of a trans person with a nazi tattoo would you accuse all trans people of being Nazis? Of course not because that is an obvious bad faith argument made by cherry picking exceptions. The group isn’t responsible for the actions of the individual.

    I’m talking about Graham Platner, asshole. And if dems aren’t responsible for their party members who caucus under them, primary with them, and get endorsed by them, who is?

    This is a good example of why leftists can’t win elections and why they are a liability to anyone that tries to court them.

    In a democracy you have to find common ground with people you don’t agree with on everything. Because if you don’t, you don’t have a chance at winning like leftists.

    Do you own a mirror?

      Leftists aren’t asking anything, they are demanding that the majority of voters do what a small minority of leftists want without trying to win over voters. They do this while attacking the Democratic Party that give leftists a platform. Oblivious to the fact that it makes them unpopular with democrat voters.

      if dems aren’t responsible for their party members who caucus under them, primary with them, and get endorsed by them, who is?

      The obvious answer that shouldn’t need to be explained to you is Voters. In a democracy voters decide these things and when leftist don’t vote they contribute to the outcome you’re complaining about.

      Do you own a mirror?

      Obviously I do. I’ve been holding it up to your face and you don’t seem to like what you see.
