You go to war with the Democratic Party you have, not the one you wish you had, but … I still want a new one! Over four million march all over the country, demanding resistance to the Trump regime, but god forbid Democrats in Congress follow suit! Instead, we literally get stupid arguments like “We gotta vote for Ben Carson because we need to win Trump voters.” Meanwhile, Trump voters are safely ensconced in a fake news bubble that no liberal argument will ever penetrate. So instead of voting for Carson to appeal to these people, why not fight for the people marching in the streets? Give them a reason to fight even harder! None of this resistance matters if Democrats can’t make huge gains in 2018—retaking the House and winning governorships and state legislatures. So how do you motivate this resistance to rally behind you? YOU FUCKING FIGHT FOR THEM! Goddam this is so patently obvious, why do we have a party that insists on ignoring the obvious? The GOP didn’t take full control of government by appeasing Democrats, they did so by fueling their own tea party, giving their activists reason to fight even harder! And they did so by saying “NO” over and over again. Our side, instead, appears intent on demoralizing our troops, even people we should be depending on like Sens. Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren. Freakin’ oppose everything!
