[3/3] “Blue no matter who” is desperately needed in general elections.
In the primaries, the “who” always matters, every single time.

[2/3] centralizing party power in fewer and fewer hands.
Our parties are private organizations of citizens. They only work when we do the work. We need progressives to step up and both do the work and donate in order to see *our* candidates in office.

[1/3] Here’s the thing that so many miss:
We need to do the work ***between elections***.
Tens of millions of people have declared themselves “independents” over the years, but there is no “Independent Party”.
What they’ve really done is abdicate from the two functional parties we have,

There’s pain caused by the GOP, and then there’s pain caused by our own side, and that’s what I have a hard time with.
When it comes to “checks and balances”, that’s something for twenty years from now, once we’ve recovered from the damage from this administration.

Not saying he’ll be successful, but the margin there is razer-thin, and there may be a few who have a significant number of voters losing healthcare [or more likely insurance companies losing premiums].

I’ve never read about Jesus and thought “You know, there’s a guy that wants people to worship him!”
