"If we don’t hold our own accountable and show them they’re replaceable, why would they court our votes and not the racists?”
I mean thats exactly it. If they’ve taken your vote for a given, and they will if they can, they won’t compete for it. And it loses elections.
aaaaaAAAANNnnndd…
When it is feckless Democrats who do get into office, and they do jack about shit… Where does that leave us, on the ground, trying to make the argument that people should vote for this party. When Schumer and Jefferies just roll over and show their bellies to the Trumps of the worlds, how the hell do they expect me to make an argument to an unconvinced voter who doesn’t believe that government can be effective, how do I convince that voter that things can be different?

My Breitbart-reading community member who learned maga was coming for his insurance subsidies damned sure isn’t impressed that the Dems rolled over.
