These are 7 of his 8 most recent posts. What about his message looks like he's not focused, like he's being too soft on the threat we're facing?

Loses a little bit of its weight when your org is admittedly, proudly, hostile to the party defined as "blue."

And everybody else's point here is that we know the context of Bernie Sanders kicking off the use of that term. We were, after all, already voting and paying heavy attention in 2016, and we all know how to use the internet, so it's possible we might have some clue what we're talking about.

Did you even read the original post? You claimed a "factual error" tying "establishment" to "moderate," but nobody has used that term except you. You're creating entire conversations in your head separate from those you're responding to, as far as I can tell, just tilting at windmills.

I mean, the definition he's giving lines up with the timeline of when the term "Democratic establishment" actually started being used. A lot of folks may mean something different when *they* use it, but he's not wrong about where and when it originated.
