Pretty astounding that some Dems don’t believe it’s possible to govern, be politically popular, and command formidable bully pulpits at the same time, but it actually explains a lot about how we got here.

“Do we want to govern or do we want to be internet celebrities?” Rep. Jeffries asked other top Dems on a private leadership call. Behind the scenes in the House Democratic Caucus and its turbulent post-election day adjustment: W @sarahnferris politico.com/news/2020/11/1

Ugh... honestly? I wish this whole conversation wasn’t happening in public. Not every comment requires a response. Every strategy doesn’t work every place. BUT- We just WON. There’s work to do- together.

the right wing of the gop waged very public battles for their party for decades and all it did was win them generational power and a stranglehold on our future so yeah why have these convos out in the open right?? lol

Sounds like some of these establishment figures really want the left to go away and form their own party -- and if that happened, how do those same establishment figures think Democrats would ever win again?

Corporate Democrats want that small dollar email and Facebook ad money, but they don't want to have real organic audiences because then they may be held accountable by their own audience when they're wrong.

Who will step forward to unite our party? How can divided dems have conversations without snark? How can we get moderates to hear us without fear? How can we progressives learn from their constituent’s struggles under the status quo?
