It's becoming more and more clear the left needs nothing less than a war against the Democrats before they can even consider going after the Republicans.

Progressives are the tea party and the DNC is the 2009 GOP trying to shift the party leftward.

The tea party agitation & radicalization model is the only path forward. Bernie needs to break with the party leadership now and maybe by 2021 we can have some sort of separate progressive caucus within the party.

And that's why we have to destroy the BernieBros, otherwise we can't dismissively use this argument against them.

??? I think there's already a progressive caucus (I'm pretty sure my states party is a part of it) and I think you guys are underestimating how power the progressives are outside the national party structures.

he's not a real Democrat.

Like, not in the lovely way but he literally is not an actual Democrat party-wise but he caucuses with them. Pulling the party to your side is one thing but being an active obstruction in lawmaking is a cool and sexy way to go from 'the I we let hang around and support' to finding yourself very alone and suddenly impotent.

if you're in power you chase votes to stay in power

if you're trying to unseat someone you raise as much money as possible because of how huge of an advantage incumbency is

republicans in power for the most part didn't start as batshit as they are now, they became that way after chasing tea party votes in the primaries because those fuckers also show up to the general even if they didn't get their guy to win
