You can do anything! . . . . If you try extremely hard and be frustrated and grumbling the whole time

All good, I saw what you were getting at about the counterintuitive coordination of the Democrats and agree 100%, and wanted to just add my best analysis of why that happens, despite the seeming of atomization within the party structure

Anyway, sorry this might have gone off the topic of the thread, but I wanted to say I agree with what you were saying Jane and I hope I've added some context or value to it.

Acknowledging resentments and directing them into progressive politics is all we can do. I would prefer someone better then Platner. When he ran originally there were too few candidates. Since then, many more socialists have won in sweeps and we don't need to be desperate for candidates anymore.

You can get into the minutia of why one is better than the other, what is productive or problematic, but that, like you said earlier, is the trees instead of the forest. Vast swaths of voters behave in ways we don't have control over. If one wants to sort sinners from saints, go into the church.

Many of them voted for Trump or Brexit, in a desperate bid to see if democracy even worked at all. Many of them quietly kill themselves with drugs. Some of them chose to direct their energy somewhere they imagine more productive, like cheering for elon space optimism, or supporting DSA socialism.

especially if they are a woman who view their liberal education as their one way to rise in society. Since every facet of the post war deal that created a middle class of men is being gutted and the only path forward is compete for education of decreasing value, men are understandably freaking out.

People who have spent their whole lives navigating the humiliation ritual of Party Politics to be next in line for a seat at the table do not want to be passed by a tacky TV rich guy, or a socialist from Vermont, or a chauvinistic mercenary,

The elite over-production of young people with college degrees has ballooned the upper echelons of society, and there is simply no room for anyone anymore. People who have spent their whole lives vying for positions in the bureaucracy become resentful of outsiders, or become an insurgent themselves.

In the West today there is a vast underclass of downwardly mobile people who are returning to their historic class position of poverty, after a few post-war decades of the cold-war mirage of a society organized around their well-being. At the same time there is a surge in the upper-middle classes.

For a lot of potential voters, the specifics of candidate politics don't matter, just that the establishment is afraid of them and conspiring against them is all they need to hear. Peter Turchin explains this well in End Times as the intersection of popular immiseration and failed elite aspirations.

competentposter @competentposter.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Liberals will continue to deny the reality that a significant amount of Americans, historically non-voting demographics, view an official party endorsement from either party as disqualifying. People voted for trump because he was an insurgent outsider. Same with Bernie, Mamdani, Platner.
