(20,176 posts)They will say it's all our fault for "disloyalty" and use that to smother nascent empowerment and uprising of the progressive left. Worse, doing so makes Democrats even less capable of winning in the future.
The shame is it'll work and continue to work until we become the sort of people who will march in the streets and act in ways they fear.
It's why I've said all along, there can be no peace with the Hillary supporters ever; we actually need a party Civil War...the tent isn't big enough for all of us. Either we leave and the loser-centrists lose without us or they turn their backs on Clintonism and the Third Way. The Democratic party needs to either continue explicitly exclusive of the Clintons and their allies or it needs to accept losing.
There is no means by which this coalition can continue with progressives and Clintonites. None.
