Well that was disappointing but fair enough. Have a good one dude.

Look, I’m sure you’re a perfectly nice guy. Let me be the first year to bury the hatchet and say sorry, I let this spiral out of control and got Internet tough guy about it. I do not feel you’re being very fair to what I am saying and I am feeling rather misinterpreted in a hostile way, but I’m going to assume that was not your intention and that you have some equally valid feeling about the way I have been interacting. Let’s just shake hands and move on.

No apparently we’re done interacting so it’s a bit late to actually ask me to clarify or explain. I have no reason to believe you have an open mind or will treat anything I say with anything less than the worst possible interpretation.

I said what I said. Feel free to reread it with a more generous lens if you’re actually serious.

Good riddance to bad, deadly rubbish

telling ridiculous lies about how rejecting progressives and kissing republican ass is somehow treating progressives better than republicans.

Dude, with all due respect, what the fuck are you talking about? Seriously. Quote me here, I legitimately have no clue what you are on about. I’ve gone back and squinted as hard as I can at this comment chain, I really do no understand where you think I said any of these things, because I sure as shit don’t believe them.

Insulted your intelligence? I think you’re probably a very smart person. I never called that into question, but you’re welcome to show me where I did.

You’re making a lot of claims about how things are and I’m not seeing where you’re getting the information.

Where are you getting this information? Where have you seen this? How many campaigns have you worked on? Are you involved in politics yourself?

You’re conflating how they handle general elections/treat progressives, which is piss poor, with how primaries go down. These are two very different discussions even though it may not seem that way.

3 fucking awful months.

Where on earth are you getting that idea? They aren’t treated worse because that makes no sense. They are in a primary, they are direct competitors. There are no Republicans in the democratic primaries.

Number of asses kicked in Halo 2

You completely ignored the thrust of my argument. Why should progressives running against democrats while railing against the Democratic Party expect a helping hand from their opponent/the democratic party?

I have worked successful progressive campaigns and let me tell you, that’s not an expectation of winning candidates.

Have you ever experienced a stun grenade? Tear gas? Have you been grabbed by a MAGAt as he screamed “RACE TRAITOR” in your face? Have you had your camera grabbed by a Qultist as he screamed “FUCK YOU FAKE NEWS” in your face? Don’t fucking presume to know me.

the party pulls out all the stops to stop progressive challengers to conservative incumbents

Progressives have won many local seats in places, so no they are not being stopped. At higher level offices yes of course they struggle to knock out funded, well known incumbents. But it’s the pitiful turnout at these primaries is the real problem. If progressives even marginally increased turnout they’d win a lot more seats.

Like I also don’t get this complaint on some level: Yes they lose to incumbents working against them. The progressive candidates are running against them and trying to take their seat. 90% of the time their rhetoric is antagonistic to the democratic party. Why would they expect a friendly, helping hand from an org they often paint as their opposition?
