to be blunt, I think this common self-contradictory combination is a convenient excuse for people to let themselves and their own social circles off the hook, indulge in endlessly critiquing power, and never do anything to make things better

to be clear, I agree with (1), that many elected Dems are not fighting hard enough.
I just don't see how you can possibly think that, and also not do your part as a voter to change it (2), and also give literal Trump supporters a pass (3).

I'll never understand why "progressives in primaries" and "any and all Dem nominees to stop GOP in general elections" and seem to have so little overlap among online lefty posters. consistent progressive principles demand them both.
remember we are in a big coalition.

I loathe "rotating villain theory." Always struck me as the sort of the thing that bad-faith wrecker doomers would peddle to try to demoralize the left.
It looks impossible to refute tonight.
Shame on everyone involved in orchestrating this. I'm furious beyond words.

a note on the Minnesota primary: this is correct, the person to replace Tina Smith with is Peggy Flanagan
Replace Smith with Peggy Flanagan. Do not replace her with Angie Craig.
that's right, Smith is retiring, I forgot
that sucks! she's good! replace her with someone who is also good!

Unless Democratic Senators who voted no on the #Schumersurrender today explicitly call for Schumer to resign or step aside - they all own this cave. Just pushing out performative posts and press releases don’t count for much anymore. Enough.
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will
