    It’s laughable that you claim to have done any introspection and still blame 3rd party voters for Democrats losing elections in the same post, as if it wasn’t the choice to run a brain dead candidate, ditch said candidate and do zero democracy to find another (granted, as we’ve established, democrats don’t run democratic primaries anyway), and then the replacement candidate spent their whole campaign telling millions of people watching their friends get genocided or working 100 hours a week to live in a roach-infested studio to just be joyful about it.

    My brother, we lived through 2016 and the superdelegates. Democrats don’t get to punch someone in the face and then complain that they broke their hand, and the votes aren’t coming back until they start caring more about workers than they do about finding more money and WMD’s for genocide.

    And we’re not winning just because the person doing the fascism wears a blue pantsuit.

      My introspection was that I can’t stand by and let bad defeat better simply because best isn’t on the ballot, because that will hurt the ones I love.

      Can you give me a citation for an incumbent party winning the election with a candidate other than the incumbent? I’m not aware of that every happening. Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 primaries. That’s why I opened up with saying we need more progressive candidates and voters to participate in the primaries. We have more progressive representatives now than we did in 2016 because of Bernie’s 2016 campaign, not because of 3rd party voters.

      And we’re not winning just because the person doing the fascism wears a blue pantsuit.

      No. But we are farther from it when the President is engaging in trans-denialism and xenophopbia and pardoning convicted seditionists. but by all means, keep letting perfect be the enemy of better. I’m sure some day that will work.
