    I mean at this point I will never donate to or vote for a Democrat again so they should keep going. Please continue everyone. Do your best to alienate 30% of your own voting bloc. I now also walk around telling people to stay home on election days and the reasons why. These people would rather have Joe Manchin in the party than Bernie Sanders or even AOC. They'll never openly say that about AOC because she has +2 to idpol shield. This is a game to them because they've had very easy lives.

      more like 40-50% of their (left) voting bloc at this point if you look at the numbers. though 75% support m4a

      The only part of this I disagree with. We should encourage the alienated 30-40% of mostly working-class typical non-voters to vote for third-party socialist/working-class candidates where they exist, and to turn out to vote on ballot questions/referenda when they're on the table.

        True. I just meant it more in terms of staying away from the traditional Democratic Party candidates.
