Your options really are to kick out the left, or live with the fact that some of them want to change the system.

But in the end, it wont matter one bit for the party. Many of the Antifa protestors are NOT dems. You will still be smeared with anything that can be negatively attributed to them unto the end of time. Biden could find, capture, strip citizenship, and expell from the country every single person who has been to an antifa protest.. And they would still call him a commie nazi socialist anti law enforcement racist antifa appologist.

So yeah.. We need to learn and improve how we deal with the fact that no matter what we do, no matter how we try to accommodate the right, they will still smear us with every thing the think might scare their base into voting. They will do this regardless of truth.

Whats your solution to the actual problem?
