    Or would you say… well, this first step is too hard… I’m just gonna lie down and take a nap?

    That’s what the party did with the public option and increasing the minimum wage.

      So because you didn’t get everything you want you are just gonna stamp your feet, take you ball and go home?

        That’s EXACTLY what they do. Every four years. The Bernie bros did the same thing in 2016, and again in 2020. And these clowns think they’re pulling some new grassroots movement. They have no idea that they’re already considered to be non voters.

        They’re doing nothing. And by that I mean, they’re doing a LOT more nothing than even they think they are. Their little “protest” is completely meaningless.

        Unless their intent is to get trump elected, and for some- this is the case.

          A greater percentage of Sanders supporters voted for Clinton than Clinton supporters voted for Obama. Clinton supporters formed a PAC to get McCain elected.

          They’re doing nothing. And by that I mean, they’re doing a LOT more nothing than even they think they are. Their little “protest” is completely meaningless.

          Since they can be safely ignored, why aren’t you ignoring them?

          Unless their intent is to get trump elected, and for some- this is the case.

          Why do centrists pretend that those to their left are all the way to their right?

        Where do centrists keep getting this?

        People to your left are allowed to be dissatisfied even when you get everything you want.

          Yeah this “you’re throwing a tantrum because you didn’t get everything you wanted” is rich coming from the people who got Joe Biden elected in the 2020 primaries. It’s pure projection on their part. They would throw a tantrum if they didn’t get everything they wanted. The moment progressives start dominating primaries these people will stop showing up to vote in the general election.

          It’s pure ego. They’ve built their personality around being “the good guys” compared to Republicans so when someone comes along and says “we need to do more” it’s a crisis for them. They can’t let anyone accomplish more than they did because it would force them to admit they became complacent.

          Democrat voting Boomers are still Boomers at the end of the day. Selfish pieces of shit.

            How do you know that? I voted Bernie and I think you’re throwing a tantrum.

            They would throw a tantrum if they didn’t get everything they wanted.

            I voted Bernie. Not throwing a tantrum. I’m thrilled that Biden is the most progressive president since LBJ if not FDR.
