        I’ve spent my entire adult life fighting to help the Democratic Party. It’s an imperfect vessel, but it’s what was available. I’m as sympathetic as amy to the challenges they face right now. But if they come up empty right now, I’m not sure what I have left in the tank.

        Except what will happen is they’ll blame the left like they always do and say we need people to the right of cal Cunningham and Amy McGrath to run instead of anything getting blown up.

        it’d be better if we could figure a way to get him to understand the other kind of stakes

        The willful ignoring of the many great things Biden has already done is the biggest problem we have. Anyone who wants progressive change should be touting everything that he has done which will make it easier for him to do more.

        On a pretty fundamental level the Democrats need to realize they are a political party and start to act like it. The Republicans certainly do. Manchin and Sinema's intransigence should already have been dealt with.

        The problem is, at base, they AREN’T a political party. They are fifty political parties in 50 states, all with their own quirks. And while the DNC can try to exert control, it will always be limited by that fact.
