Why is our anger so laser-focused on Susan Collins?

[VOX]

45. When Democrats have to get on their knees and plead with REPUBLICANS for help, it's an ominous sign.

Decades of politeness and “high roading” and a need for purity in candidates have combined to neuter the party, and leave it powerless in the face of fascism.

Signal example: As much as I love Adam Schiff and all he’s done, and as ambivalent as I feel about Michael Avenatti (especially as a candidate!), the Democratic Party needs more Avenattis right now— boldness, direct talk, going on the offensive, repetition of talking points, etc.

Pleading with a Susan Collins or a Jeff Flake— or even holding them responsible for a right-wing SCOTUS, is misdirected anger. Republicans have out-generaled Democrats time and again, and now they have FULL control of every branch of government, a 24/7 propaganda state-“news” cable outlet; untold billions in dark money, the assistance of a major hostile foreign power, etc. And they are motivated by the idea of a PERMANENT Republican majority government.

All of which means that Democrats/progressives HAVE to stick together and tear down this fascist monster that is shredding democracy as rapidly as possible.

VOTE IN NOVEMBER, and make sure others you know do the same!
