    This ignores so much that has been fought for and done by so many politicians who actually have a desire to make things better. It’s honestly disgraceful you’re that bitter you can’t see the good faith efforts that have been made.

      1. So then you agree with what I said but just want to make an addition?

      2. What Democratic politicians organized actual resistance to Trump’s policies? Not just occasional votes or run-of-the-mill shuffling, but organizing? Mobilizing people to do continual work and the building and ossification participation in an organization directly taking actio?

      That is antithetical to how the party operates. They always dismiss or coopt such things into NGOs with staffing paid by donors and they cease to be orgs with a political project and mobilization.

      Good faith efforts made by the party or by state and local dems who aren’t party insiders?
