Seems to me that we should not be lecturing likely Dem voters that every vote matters. Seems to me that we should be lecturing Dem party leaders that they should espouse popularly progressive policies that will attract more likely Dem voters. Scolding voters is backward thinking, and it ignores where the seat of power in reality lies (not with individual voters).

@micchiato This person went on a tirade against me for #boycottamazon She’s a hypocrite.
Anyway I would live to hear dems plan to bring back something better than the fairness doctrine, M4A (seriously), realistically address climate emergency, and so much more.
Money out of politics!! Big one.

I would love to hear progressives plan for doing anything other than attend a Bernie rally.

Starting w the green new deal.
We need decisive, uber progressive policies now.
I know my rep & a few surrounding know that’s what I expect.

Bernie has been in Washington for three decades and has done nothing. He has endorsed a grand total of seven candidates this election cycle. That's a F'ing joke, maybe progressives need to actually build a political party and do something other than arm chair quarterbacking the only non fascist party in American politics.

@HakeemG @micchiato Thats what I’m taking about!
AOC, Warren, Raskin… there are several dems who bring me hope.
We need to crank #progessive all the way up. Do all the things. As quickly as possible.

That's just not enough. Progressives have to get serious, can you name a single progressive from the south?
