Is it really so hard to understand that parts of America prefer centrists? What is it with progressives thinking they can impose their goals on everyone. It’s a recipe for disaster, yet they persist in trying to alienate and divide Democrats. Then they’re mad when Democrats aren’t helpful.

Yup. Cope. Progressive temper tantrums are tiresome. There are no words that will satisfy them. It’s constant sniping while they stayed home and helped Trump win. Then, they whine incessantly and expect rational people to care. So many Democrats are past it. Especially with the racism.

When a progressive wins major election in a red state, please post. Until then, the party is a big tent. If you think you’re going to get rid of the Black and Jewish party base who makes rational decisions, your feelings will be hurt. We will work together while you pour.
