and yet the party continues to back them, funding their campaigns over progressive challengers. if the party had any spine, they'd have cut off endorsements, remove them from committee assignments, etc. but nah, the democrats only care about saving face, finding someone in the party to blame so they don't actually have to pass policies that people want.

edit, since people seem to think that i'm a dem: the democratic party has proven that it is not and will never be a vessel for change. my comment is pointing out one of the more obvious examples of such. the republican party has never been good, but when the entire platform leading into 2024 is genociding trans people, the dems are (sadly) the only viable option, and they know it.

Progressives have Shit for brains too. Their "Democratic Socialist" "Defund the Police" Nonsense is Never gonna "Play In Peoria" or any "flyover country", where a guy like Biden pulled in the elderly secret racist dementia voter bloc, which is still Yuge. Every time AOC Tweets out on Columbus Day (oh sorry Indigenous Day) "Columbus was a Genocidal Maniac who Butchered Millions", that's Millions who will NEVER vote Blue.

Progressives & Trumpers have that much in common: Can win primaries, but are Toast in General Elections (oh sure there are 90 - 100 solid Progressive districts in the House, but . . . statewide? Presidential? Fuggeddaboudit! Obama was the closest you'll ever get, & you all H8ted him cause he Smart Bombed terrorists (Good for Him)
