I mean, isn't that where we are now? I'm not trying to be smart with you, but, they've had that purge for decades, and its still ongoing. The couple of "progressives" in the party, have no power, and cheer on everything the party does and votes for it without questions, while the party tries to purge them in the primaries anyways.

I mean I don't see how it would be any different.

Well Cuomo is still getting attacked for assaulting women so clearly the purging of the party isn’t as complete as they’d like yet.

But the difference is making open what has been previously only backroom purges. So blaming 2022 on the the left, like something along the lines of claiming the Nevada DSA scaring voters in Ohio and Texas and using that to justify a DNC rule against DSA members running for party leadership.

What will change is that if the left are declared open enemies rather than the current status as petulant children what does that do for our political dynamics?

Will the Dems feel even obligated to pretend to do anything if they can openly blame the left? Will AOC still sheepdog when she’s forced to resign over doing a no-growth? Will the DSA and other previously dem allied orgs realize electoralism is a fixed game or will they just try to normalize to this new reality and blockwalk for Kamala 2028?

It's worth noting that Cuomo's office has a direct line you can call if you're having issues with benefits/unemployment/etc., and they transfer you to a live human being so you don't have to wait on hold for hours with the main phone number

His staffers stopped answering the phone like 2 weeks ago, lol

I don't really see how they can go any harder and more mask off though, their whole point as a party is to be mask on and keep people to the left on the hook. The democrats with the mask off is just another GOP and then they have to worry about that left energy flowing other places.

It's like they are trying to conflate their argument with things like kristen cinnabon hiding behind anti-misogyny idpol to do fundamentally anti-feminist things, but really the only way to interpret that comment is "i don't understand the joke"

the substack's article's main point is that the comic is making such an obvious point about the uselessness of diversifying horrible institutions that it needn't be posted at all. on the other hand, *gestures at virtually all of popular liberal feminist discourse whose political horizon is increased gender diversity within the system rather than a transformation of it*

yeah, I mean, biden's tweet about what the leaders of the US military look like is literally that comic writ large and unironic. but scolds gotta scold if someone has the temerity to make them slightly perturbed

oh there are many ways for them to be more mask off.

And the transition to blue maga allows them to do it. Their supporters don’t care about reality anymore, they just need their sweet sweet talking points/rationales. They want to stay on the hook.

From the Dem establishment perspective there is nowhere for the left to go to seize power except in the Democratic Party, so if you make that even more impossible there’s only reduced risk of leftwing electoral empowerment.

Like climate change, will the DNC takeaway from 2022 be “we need to focus more on climate” of course not, it will be about how we need to do more to prove the Dems love fracking and coal. But like you’re saying, they’re already pro-fracking and coal on a policy level, so they have to performatively take the mask off and punish climate activists somehow to prove their bona fides.
