Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    I read this as saying if you can’t build an electoral apparatus within the Democrat party capable of challenging the party leaders, your opinion doesn’t matter to the democrats

      I love this “it’s not worth trying” attitude as an excuse to complain.

      Weirdly, I haven’t heard anyone who was pushing for Dean Phillips or Marianne Williamson make that claim or that complaint. Maybe because they actually did the work.

          Yes, I know your ‘if I don’t literally say something, any inference you make is false’ game. You played it yesterday too.

          And, of course, you’re allowed to interpret what I say however you like.

              I see. The idea that you can interpret my comment any way you like but I are not allowed to interpret any of your comments except 100% literally is intellectual honesty to you.

              Interesting.

                  Wouldn’t the intellectually honest thing be to ask me what I meant rather than decide your interpretation was correct?
