And how some can't live with the facts that he ran as a Bernie progressive, but now is a Trump adjacent toady for Republicans.

I bet the voters would have a different message about that outcome.

Speaking of losing, it's interesting to see how quickly the "progressives" turn on each other. Look at Katie Porter in California -- scorned now over the new billionaire leader, Tom Steyer. There was a time when she was going to really show California all about your coalition, but California showed her the door instead.

My voting is with the majority of Democrats in every election, so my coalition is just fine, but thanks for your deep concern.
