I think many ITT need to hear this: perfect is the enemy of the good.

Possibly true, but not why we are where we are

Hope and strive for perfection, sure! But anyone looking for a candidate that is going to exactly mirror their own own views on policy are as misguided as those who voted for the orange shit stain because he "talks just like me."

Again, not why we are where we are, and it's a copout to say that. Here's why:

Good thing I didn't say what you said I said.

I'm so tired of these takes. Trump won. I could care less if the next one is a slightly left of center corporate Democrat. The GOP has to be avoided at all costs.

The only way to avoid the GOP is to burn the existing Democratic party to ashes. That's the lesson of the last three elections. The current Democrats are not capable of winning elections against the GOP.

Well, not all costs. If a Berniecrats gets as close to the Presidential nomination as Mamdani has to Mayor of NYC, it's pretty clear the Dem establishment will slit it's own throat in defiance.
