I mean

(a) no they don't, the Tea Party / Trumpists never compromised and look at them
(b) how does "both wings of the party gotta compromise" keep turning into "the left has gotta compromise; the center is compromising all the time by virtue of hearing you complain about all the things we're making you compromise on"

the center is also compromising all the time in a very real sense, with the Republicans

Actually yes, let this administration hang itself. If you start interfering, the Democrats have a bad habit of absorbing Republican problems. The party chair can say whatever, really.

the nevada culinary union loves him and they're one of the most effective unions in the country as far as getting what they want

plus it was either the teamsters or afl-cio that told obama to gently caress off when he tried to move him from labor to AG because they loved him so much

so I would say he's the equivalent of like tom cotton

Has this Bruenig article been posted yet? Probably, but it's the clearest and most concise take I've read on why this was so dumb

Ignoring the fact that 1. All the DNC voters are the establishment wing 2. Chuck schemer recruited Ellison in the first place 3. The "Oppo dump" was literally stuff that was in Ellison's Wikipedia article. The whole establishment/not establishment wing stuff is just totally bunk.

Pack it up leftists, you lost (an election where establishment insiders and lobbyists were the only voters), it might be fun to post Carly Marx on the Twitter, but out here we live in the real world, where radical ideas like "poor people shouldn't die because they can't afford medicine" are never going to happen.
