Dem conspiracy theorists on the left: Pelosi's delaying impeachment trial to hurt Sanders & Warren

[highplainsdem]

56. I don't think I've ever suggested that people who support Warren or Sanders are so far left they

can't be part of the big tent of the Democratic Party.

I do get worried about the ones like AOC who suggest the tent's too big and it shouldn't include both her and Biden.

And I get offended when some Warren and Sanders supporters suggest that only the left can offer good ideas, helpful ideas, and they suggest that anything more moderate, even if still traditionally liberal, is inferior.

We do need to be able to get along, and that means compromises.

Positive change usually DOES happen in increments, mostly because dramatic changes -- or attempted changes that fail -- often lead to dramatic backlashes. But that doesn't mean gradual change is "nonexistent in most cases."

As for having nowhere else to go...I don't either. I'll have no choice but to vote for Sanders or Warren if one of them is the nominee, even though I really don't think either of them can beat Trump. (The general election polling we've seen so far shows Biden can do well against Trump despite all the GOP attacks on him, but we have no idea if the same would be true of any of our other candidates if they're subjected to that, because so far they've been spared while the GOP goes after Biden, the one they're most afraid of.) I think Biden might help enough down-ballot for Dems to regain control of the Senate as well as keep control of the House. I think the opposite is true with Warren and Sanders.

But I'll still vote for them, because I have nowhere else to go.
