In my eyes you left out the most important thing : we MUST work towards unity and condemn those who seek to divide us against ourselves.
People on the left must learn :
👉🏽it is 🇺🇸federalism itself that is the greatest obstacle to a more progressive society, and not the lack of a super lefty president.
👉🏽Having hard majorities in Congress is MUCH more important than who the president is. A president is only as powerful as Congress will allow.
👉🏽judging Dems for “not doing enough” when they have no choice but to negotiate with a rabidly obstructionist MAGA (who will always be there!) is next level victim blaming & shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how power works in this country.
OUR ONLY CHOICE :
👉🏽UNITE!! The divisive Nader/Bern/“that candidate’s not good enough for me” attitude must be rejected. Our opponent is a political party who’s been given wildly inordinate power (by our Constitution) & who vote in locked goose step unity. Division in the face of this is utterly illogical. We are not a 3 party system (nothing will change that), and the only way forward is if we are united. Division in the face of MAGA is utter folly, a death knell to everything we believe in.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! You bring up an incredibly important point about the need for unity and a deeper understanding of how power and federalism shape our political landscape. I completely agree that focusing on building strong congressional majorities and rejecting divisive attitudes is critical if we want to achieve meaningful progress. Your perspective adds so much to this conversation, and I appreciate you highlighting the urgency of working together in the face of obstructionism. Unity is truly our greatest strength. 💪
