I am absolutely here for your rhetorical barbs. If it is important that you feel good about yourself by diminishing me then please do so.
But please aim it at me. Lots of good people get hurt on socials. Your trolling is unhelpful. But I'm here for it if you keep it off others

Not a victim. Happy that you're happy. Thanks for the insults. I'm fine with it. Whatever you think makes progressives win.
Literally don't care what you think. So long as you're not hurting others. By all means attack me so others are unharmed. My ego is immaterial. Simple, yes?

I don't follow, but please put the hash mark on your whiteboard that you totally burned me. It's important for you to feel confident and stay engaged. My ego is immaterial

Fair. And thanks for the respectful engagement.

I volunteered for that district for the last four cycles. MGP ran smart campaigns and was underestimated. It's not like she was getting pac cash in 2022.
I've watched her work and I've doorbelled and called thousands. I take this very seriously. Hyperbole and anger have a cost.

I'm pessimistic about the slow collapse. I don't see how Democrats ever take the US Senate. But they can hold the house. And MGP is better than about 200 other house members. And she's working in a district that voted for Trump.

Great. Aim them at your senators. Your local reps. If you get a pound of flesh from MGP, you end up with a Joe Kent. That's bad.
Being strategic is not the same as being silent. Tell us how to get victory. Not that you're angry about the past

Again, I agree with your sentiment. And I probably agree with the politics. But the centrists are clearly holding seats that the progressives are not in these districts. Mgp should change when her voters change. I don't see that happening soon enough

I agree. That district is R+6.
The vote is gross. But she is counting on it. Not becoming law and making sure she can capture the center in 2026.
Would you rather have Tulsi gabbard or Kyrsten Sinema?
Both very lefty at the start. Both corrupted and without principle in the present.

Nobody is demanding silence. I am a progressive who doesn't want Republicans in charge. I am disagreeing with you not demanding your silence

That is exactly the opposite prescription of long-time center left D's. I bet we agree on the politics. But you have to win. We lost the Oregon 5th in 2022 because of this idiocy. There's no reason to shoot yourself and claim you're healthy.

You can want a better Democratic party. But you need the seat. Winning matters. You can get policy done with your senators, your local officials, neighboring districts that are safe. You're playing a short game and you're costing policy on the long-term. Critique away. Recognize the hurt.

Well I agree with you. It still feels like I would be Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud. It's not something that's going to change no matter how angry I am

Listen man. I agree with your politics. Your math is what's terrible. It's an off your election next time and all she needs is for idiot zealots to be disengaged which is typical. + 1 centrists and Dsto be afraid of freaks like Kent. Incumbency is an advantage. She's playing to the center

It's real. People still are voting for or against the white house. Most consistuents don't know their congressperson. You're projecting as a progressive activist. The votes in a red district are not found by mgp there. She is likely hedging and she has 20 months to do so

Stop.
Congressional races are usually decided on the constituency and the popularity of the White House occupant. You're offering conjecture. It's hurting the people who need to actually do something. They could help bring mgp to change her views, for instance

Dude. It's an R+6 district. Her first duty is to constituents. Marie is a hard worker who told us she wouldn't vote the party line.
She is working class.
Your facts are wrong and they are breaking up the coalition that could block the GOP agenda in the House in 2027
