    Look. History shows that you don’t fight authoritarian right wing parties by returning the center-left party to power that enabled the fascists in the first place. It never works. You either have to burn the center-left party to the ground entirely, or reform it so deeply that it has little resemblance to the old order. The Democratic Party right now is fundamentally incapable of stopping Trumpism. It literally cannot win an election against MAGA.

    You might as well be put your hopes in the Green Party. Centrist corporate Dems are three-time losers against MAGA. Only covid allowed Biden to win in 2020.

    The definition of insanity is trying the same thing again and again while expecting something different. You are insane.

      Yes, history absolutely shows a divided opposition always wins, and that outside players never try to enhance division to weaken the opposition.

      The south lost the presidency, and because of it, control of the country leading to them having to declare independence because they thought the national Democratic candidate was too moderate, so they split the ticket with a hardcore pro-slavery candidate.

      We’re having the same bullshit from the left.

      Burn the GOP to the ground, then have as much of a purity contest as you want.

      But fight the actual nazis first, purity tests are exactly what they want us to do to keep us weak.
