    The “center” has run to and supported her so they’re getting what they want. If the left wants anything you have to get in the tent first. There’s a reason Bernie ran in the Democratic primary. Keep our democracy and work on shifting left via primaries and ballot measures. Otherwise we’ve got an R dictatorship and I’m not rich enough or white enough to deal with that.

      We’re already in the tent. In the back. In the “I assume they will vote D” seats.

      And we will this time. (At least, I will.) While D cheerfully becomes the new conservative party and R becomes the batshit crazy party.

      Somehow the Republicans inviting Trump and the racists to take over had the net effect of pulling D to the right.

      “They don’t have a home anymore,” said Walz.

      The people who no longer have a home are progressives. R made their own fucking bed, but the Democrat leadership kept the light on for them, so they will be OK.
