(94,305 posts)...you want to debate argue with my pov, fine.
But if you think I'm going to engage with you calling my posit a lie, you're really full of yourself.
Did you even notice I HAVE NOT CALLED HER 'MORE PROGRESSIVE?'
That's something right out of whatever you're defending in your mind. It's kind of pathetic, really, even outside of criticizing me for recognizing the trend. Trying to deny that these voters want more progressive politics and results is one of the most self-defeating things I think we can engage in here. Static politics produces a static party, static results. That's what these incumbents are experiencing. The party should take heed.
We definitely should not satisfy ourselves that politics as usual is going to generate the numbers we need at the voting polls in November.
