  • The comments of that thread are demonstrating your points perfectly, in particular to the DNC's overall attitude. Even after all that's happened, they are still denigrating pro-Palestinians for being "single-issue voters" and letting "perfect be enemy of the good" (ie, the same tired talking points which worked oh-so-well the LAST FUCKING TIME), and that encapsulates perfectly just how little Libs have learned or will learn; Whether it's those with actual direct power, their donor benefactors, or, as shown here, the Blue MAGA dipshits on the ground carrying water for them.

    Whatever moment of genuine self-reflection for the party is going to be drowned out by a cacophony of Yes-Men repeating the same mantras like a broken record.

    Silver lining is that is that this leaves the Left in a position to expand and grow by absorbing more and more fragments of the Democratic party's base, but that won't come to us automatically no matter how much mainstream libs shoot themselves in the foot.
