It brings me no joy to say- The Democratic Party is drowning themselves in the center. If they don’t start advancing the progressive policies the people actually need, they’ll die out before MAGA does.

I can only speak for myself, but I long ago stopped donating to any national Democratic group, because too often I saw how they used that collective cash to support the most "mainstream" Democrats and deny support to the most progressive ones. I saw them allow themselves to be moved more and more to the right to attempt to appeal to voters who were not their own, longtime base of voters.

I do however, send donations directly to Democrats who will stand up and strongly advance truly Democratic principles, who will take a stand and take the heat for it.

The whole idea of Congressional comity and collegiality is now, and has always been, nonsense. You can't play nice with people who are willing to separate children from parents, or create a masked, secret police force. Or bomb innocent people for show. Or who enthusiastically support a convicted sex offender. Or attack the powerless to score political points. Or sneer at the Constitutional principles that underpin civil society. Or lie so disgustingly shamelessly.

Enough!
