It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.
What values?
I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.
Constitution? That shit was talking about white men only and we're really gonna lean on it?
fr Americans talk about their constitution like it's a holy text, it's embarrassing. If they're gonna worship it to that standard then how about updating it? Or writing a new one that's good?
I genuinely think most American problems come from the fact the US constitution is stupid
like how most British political problems come from the public school system (schools rich people pay money to go to) and people with politics degrees being in politics. If Britain wanted to get back to being run by people capable of operating our political system we would replace every labour MP with a trade union official and every tory MP with someone currently in prison for racketeering
Because it’s a holy text. Just like the Bible can’t really be “updated” anymore because it’s been “completed” by scribes thousands of years ago. The constitution is complete. There is nothing more you can do to it, lest you dare blaspheme against Our Founding Fathers

Because liberals like using interpersonal violence in their metaphors for politics, how is this any different than staying in an abusive relationship because you think you can fix your partner? Like yeah, maybe you make some progress; maybe you might even have periods where you love each other, but after the 500th black eye, you might want to reconsider the relationship.

it's not even a good constitution it's clearly written in a half assed way because they didn't expect the country to last very long
Seriously. It's been centuries, why can't we just fuckin write a new one already? We can start by outlawing slavery
