...Start pushing for those vaunted kitchen table issues too many Democrats continue to lose grasp of even now. Higher wages. Better education for our country's kids. Affordable health care. Higher taxes on the obscenely wealthy to pay for it all.

And yes also civil rights for our trans friends and neighbors, because their rights are OUR rights. And stop funneling our tax dollars into an ongoing genocide.

Literally all of these things should have been on the lips of every Democrat (at least, "we've done this much and here's what's next") and yet somehow they were too much to ask. Even now instead of introspection and course corrections, all we get is this blame-shifting onto the left.

If you recognize yourself in this thread and you don't like it, before you attack me (and I block you 😘), take a deep breath and think.

What is more productive in this moment--parroting an inaccurate rehashing of the past? Maybe that feels good, but is it truly helpful? Maybe find an actual leftist and ask them, sincerely, what they want. Listen. Don't butbut them about what polls well--that is how Democrats got us here.

We can't keep doing the same things: listening to the same consultants, accepting Republican framing of issues, sliding farther to the right to capture a nonexistant middle, alienating voters who don't hear anything that will help them, who then stay home.

If you want to win, that can no longer involve punching to your left and trying to force us in line. We want to help but goddamn do y'all make it difficult.

So hey, back to that line. I mean, I've previously joked about how Jill Stein would have won if the Instagram comment sections were any indicator. But look at what's happened in the wake of that.

To me it was obvious that an overwhelming number of those pro-Stein posts weren't made by real people. Did that not seem to be the case to y'all? Are those the leftists you're screaming at now!? So I'm saying. Take a moment to talk to actual people. Maybe do it in person and not online. 😅

I get so incredibly livid thinking about our fall from democracy to where we're now at. Feel free to call me out. I find it SO hard not to blame inflexible, institutional dem leaders. Not sure what to do w/that anger, honestly.
