Am I the only one that is elated that the corporate wing of the party took it on on the chin in NYC?

[AStern]

It's about time and it's a winning strategy IMHO.

[DBoon]

1. no, you aren't

[thomski64]

2. I'm just over the "strongly worded letter "

..the Neanderthal MAGA cretins give not one fuck about norms, compromise, rule of law,
the Constitution or Demoracy itself. Take the gloves off.

[31j20b3]

3. true. But when you fight you make enemies

and enemies only vote like you when they make a mistake.

I would argue don't take off the gloves, rather do the work to offer better solutions to the problems of your enemies than your enemy's favorite MAGA.

[orthoclad]

5. Oh dear

Do you mean MAGA won't like me?

[31j20b3]

7. No, I mean fighting will do you less good.

I really don't care about who would like you or me, or not.

The work needing to be done is developing approaches that -attract- those currently unlikely to vote the same as you do.

Any thug can start a fight.

4. I've been waiting for a shift like this since 1984,

the year I could first vote. I've been so frustrated over the decades, watching the party move ever-rightward. SO good to see it finally unfolding!

[orangecrush]

6. No

No, you aren't

8. It's fine when it's a solid Blue district like those in NYC, but I'm of mixed feelings

when it's a toss-up or Repuke-leaning district.

"Corporate" Dems are still 100x better than the most moderate Repukes.

[Kid Berwyn]

9. I like the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party

You know, the one that believes in Democracy, the Constitution, and the New Deal and the Fair Deal and the New Frontier and the Great Society.

The other wing is always asking for money from the same people who benefit from Republican induced Trickle Down without cease stemming from Wars without End.

So yeah, AStern, I, too, think the winning strategy is clear: Use the power of Government to make life better for We the People -- ALL of us.

13. Let the right wing have the rightwingers

There is the 1/3 of Americans who don't vote, for a variety of well-studied reasons. We should appeal to them instead of leaning so far across the aisle that we fall on our noses.

[leftstreet]

10. No n/t

[rampartd]

11. we need every establishment dem if we want to win

we need every 3rd way neoliberal and every conservative never trumper.

there is plenty to disagree about , but we need to save the glee and agree to disagree.

[orthoclad]

14. We need the Americans from that third

of the population who didn't vote. If we break away from being shackled to the right wing, we can draw in a lot of people.

[Blue Full Moon]

12. YES!
