Uh-huh.
Sure.
But they can't stick the landing. The Democrats can't seem to get voter enthusiasm for the Oval Office.
Why?
CUZ THEY KEEP NOMINATING BLUE-DOG CORPORATIST ZIONISTS WHO DRY-HUMP THE STATUS QUO.
Ever since Obama ran like Bernie but governed like Reagan, WE DON'T TRUST #Democrats.
Sure.

I don't fucking care what you think on that score, buddy-boy.
I'm telling you that #Democrats keep losing because they keep refusing to include an increasingly frustrated number of #Progressives who're being treated like the red-headed stepchildren of the party.
Keep alienating people, I guess. 🤷♀️

Clearly, they WEREN'T included.
And certainly not BY NAME.
The establishment #Democrats are so risk-averse and scared of being called "liberals" or "woke" that they refuse to unapologetic and upfront...and it costs them.
Do you want to win...or win YOUR WAY?
I want to win MY WAY...for once.
And certainly not BY NAME.

This is a common technical term that I shouldn't HAVE TO define for you; if you don't know it, you're not prepared to even have the discussion, so come back when you're educated yourself.

This isn't a "purity test", you chucklehead.
It's an "include the things I care about MOST in your platform" test.
For too long, establishment #Democrats have told the left to go fuck off with our most important issues. Telling them we're sick of it is not a "purity test".

Nah, see, you NEED us. You keep losing WITHOUT us.
Every time the establishment says no to moving left, to including #Progressives ideas, you can't even win AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
Your attitude is why you keep losing to #MAGA.

You know what the lesson is...?
INCLUDE #PROGRESSIVES IN YOUR PLATFORM.
You don't get to tell the left to fuck off...and then complain when we actually DO.
We're not going to suddenly accept your #neoliberal lesser-evils; if you're truly "Blue No Matter Who", join up with the people who're PICKY.

Dear #Democrats,
This #Progressive will not vote for a #neoliberal.
And this shut-down betrayal is Exhibit A for why not.
Adjust if you think votes are important.

You're telling me you're okay with Trump because you think people will always, always, ALWAYS vote for a centrist, even after they've told you they won't, yet you forge ahead ANYway.
Every election, you centrists expect pissed-off #Progressives to cave and vote for your moderate. Every time. 🙄

Don't be an idiot.
If she'd had the politics of Bernie Sanders, I'd have been first in line to vote for her!
Your accusations don't sound like those of someone who wanted to win elections.
