The reason the right has been kicking liberal asses lately is their unity. That unity was mostly due to the torrent of dark money from billionaire foundations like the Koch network pushing an agenda, but none the less they moved this country so far right it will take decades to change things. The left needs to learn to stop attacking the few people we still have in power so hard and look at the bigger picture. You will never get progressive change quickly, it takes a long coordinated movement. It’s an election year and we know our options are Biden against the anti-thesis of progressivism. Lets rally now and push Biden for change after the election when we have ensured we elected someone who could actually listen.
Thank you!
Imo, it made sense to attack Democrats 15 years ago who weren't representing their constituents (more recently, Sinema comes to mind). But we're past that. Now it's time to back our people, get more of them in office, push progressive ideals to the public, and get things done.
For example, saying Democrats don't do enough to protect abortion access is counterproductive. You have to support more liberals so they have the power to make change.
Same with net neutrality. Saying it took them too long doesn't help. They got it done. Celebrate it.
"Democrats suck because they didn't do enough to stop Republicans" is an argument that makes me rage
