It would be one thing if they just didn’t think a shutdown was a price worth paying. It’s so much worse that they just genuinely believe that it wasn’t *working.* Because they can’t get their head around what the actual danger is here. bsky.app/profile/mich...
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy

Would it make a difference if liberals started talking a bit more like normie Americans? Maybe not! But it doesn’t seem totally impossible. It could also be bad. I find of the ‘bad terms’ useful and wouldn’t want to stigmatize them. I just don’t think it’s illegitimate to raise the idea.
