    Mmmm. No. The Dems have had to slowly drift rightwards to ensure they get some votes from those influenced by the rightwing media ecosystem.

      No, party leadership drifts rightwards and counts on their fans making up excuses for them.

            I’m not happy with it but claiming the only way to react is not to vote is a classic disinformation tactic.

            OP is a Rightwing / Russian shitbag.

              I doubt that.

              claiming the only way to react is not to vote is a classic disinformation tactic.

              I did not claim that.

              Yes, centrists say that about everyone to their left.

                Oh are you ‘left’ now?!? Because it seems to me that you are doing everything you can to sabotage and demoralise the Dems and help the GOP.

                  I’m not going to apologize for being unhappy with the party’s decades-long shift to the right.

                  I love how when centrists can’t defend how utterly useless they’ve made the party, they start calling people republicans and russians.

                    I’m not a ‘centrist’ but I am realist.

                    I’m far more Left than you know, but realise that unless we play the hand we have, the whole game is over.

                    Right now, we have Biden. There’s no one else lined up. That’s what it is. It’s either him or Trump come November.

                    You gonna roll around crying and kicking on the ground and poop your pants, or stand up and use whatever leverage we have to push back against the tide of blatant evil that the GOP not only represents, but literally acts for…?!?
