And you buy that shit because you have no Imagination or ability to see anything but more Status Quo.

I recognize the reality that you idiots lose EVERY F*&^ING TIME.

The inconsistency between public support for "progressive" ideas and progressive's inability to get elected beyond the coasts has existed as long as I can remember.

What has also existed as long as I can remember is the reliable stupidity of progressives where a single round of wins turns into condescending lectures, moral preaching, budgetary free for all and an assumption that their social issues are as important to the regular voters who voted for them in that round, thus leading to a HUGE swing of the pendulum in the other direction.

This is the reality you idiots refuse to acknoweledge to the detriment of us all.

The Democratic Establishment turns on any Progressive movement.

They would Rather Republicans Win actually.

No, they wouldn't. They would rather you stop being childish morons, drop the self-righteous purity requirements and, oh I don't know, win more than one election before trying to cram your entire agenda through while you can't even agree on they/them vs xi/xe. Oh, and stop calling every slightly Progressive leaning Dem the next FDR with the next Big New Deal blah blah blah.

Y'all have terrible electoral track records and you're falling into the same patterns of failure you always do at a time when accepting a smaller win would have outsized effects on our Republic and would actually endear you to the electorate enough to maybe last longer than a single round of wins.

Anyways, the clouds have cleared here, so I'm going to go sit the dark back deck, drink a beer and marvel at the stars and Milky Way.
