    Look forward to the Democrats losing every election then. No one wants to vote for a Republican Party clone when the real Republican Party is right there.

    Go left or get used to losing.

    Consider your mission accomplished. You've purged us from the party so thoroughly that many of us don't plan on ever coming back.

    Hey, why was turnout for Kamala so low?

      Yup love how it's our fault for not voting but also our fault for driving people away.

      I almost think maybe a bunch of racist assholes just use us as an excuse to vote for the explicit racist asshole party and liberals keep believing them for some unimaginable reason.

    These people are so stupid man. The right will always accuse people of being communists. They were calling kopmala a communist. American right wingers calling someone/something communist has no ideological bent to it, it’s just a pejorative, it just means “thing I don’t like”. A hundred years of red scare propaganda is a hell of a drug.

    It doesn't matter how much they purge the left from their centrist kumbaya with the Nazis Democratic Party. Republicans will always brand Democrats the "Extreme Far Left™" because it helps the Far Right pull things further to the right while making mild capitalist reforms seem like Stalinism.

      You would think after cheyney had stump speeches like "I may not think gay people should have any protections from discrimination but I don't think Trump should be president" and then repuicans called her a commie some of them might have picked up on that.

    These fuckers lost 9 million votes compared to the previous election and their conclusion is "We need to purge people from our coalition so that we lose even more votes in the next election." galaxy-brain

    Honestly, I hope they purge everybody they think is "too radical". After Sanders proved himself to be little more than a well-trained sheepdog under Clinton, that provided one of the largest groundswells for... Well, I can't call white Amerikans properly leftist, progressive, or marxist at this juncture; but it did provide a lot of settlers their first off-ramp from the uniparty.

    What these mulefuckers think 'purging' the compatible left from their part will do except turn those 'compatibles' closer to 'radical'?

    This argument makes no sense. So you kick the left wing out of your "left" party. What are you left with? What is the purpose of you? Is the goal just to win? To win but not have any beliefs or goals?

          Just saying the goal of any political org is to win, always. There’s no virtue in being a noble loser

            The goal is to achieve political objectives like preserving capitalism and getting corporate taxes cut, it doesn't matter how they are achieved, and deliberately losing an election is a viable strategy for Democrats.

    Cosplay Socialists and DSA cultists need to be purged from the party or we'll remain falsely branded as Marxists

    Playing whackamole at every fart chuds whiff in your direction is why you’ll remain correctly branded as complete fucking losers.

    The only salient point pete ever made is that Republicans will always paint Dems as communists no matter how moderate they try to be, so they might as well just do what they want to do.

    Of course, with the rat man "what they want to do" was market-pilled, mean tested incrementalism
