57. We're still suffering because of the likes of Sarandon (and her defenders)

Same shit didn't happen in 2020

Irrelevant. We're still suffering because of the likes of Sarandon (and her defenders) and it could just as easily happen again based on things I'm seeing from people like Nina Turner and HER supporters.

We now have a Dem majority that you have decided is not good enough.

Ridiculous. I've made no such "decision" ... I'm the one spelling it out like it is. Fifty-fifty is NOT a majority in the Senate. It's absurd to pretend that it is. It's also absurd to get so mad at the fact that not every Democrat is far-left. We have both liberal Democrats, centrist Democrats and conservative Democrats.

Enough with feeling sorry for the past and putting ourselves into a box.

Nobody is doing that. What we're doing is reminding everyone what can happen when fringe activists like Sarandon (and Turner) try to kneecap our party.

Use the powers we have and stop waving the white flag.

Nobody is doing that either. What we ARE doing is fighting back against Sarandon, her defenders and political supporters, who seek to completely destroy the Democratic party (to rebuild, presumably).

I have ZERO intention of "waving the white flag" to treacherous individuals like that.
