26. No, that's not the "shit" which should be fucked.

See post #17.

Maybe if the establishment party leaders saw fit to embrace that liberal platform, and fight against FUCKING MAGA with more than "strong letters", he wouldn't have to ask how his recruits would like to run. He probably wouldn't be an independent himself. People like me, LIBERALS, wouldn't wish there were some other national party to join that would want and fight for us instead of taking our vote for granted then telling us to sit down, shut up, and send the DCCC all our money.

In any case, as long as they caucus with the Democrats, that is what matters, right? That's what y'all said about Joe Manchin, isn't it? Oh wait, he actually was a "Democrat".

Sanders, and AOC, and the other Democratic fighters are the way forward. Not thirdway corp friendly bullshit etc.

People are responding to their willingness to stand up for progressive values, and do more than chide their "friends on the other side of the aisle" and wag fingers at tRump.

We have NO friends on the other side of the aisle, just enemies. Enemies who should be opposed and obstructed with the same tenacity and ferocity as they do to us when they were the minority.

It's that simple.
