If you can’t see the difference between cozying up to republicans and saying fuck everyone who disagrees with you then you may be part of the problem…
I agree that befriending Liz Cheney and dick Cheney, one of the most unpopular politicians in us politics was a terrible move… so was trying to distance herself from progressives who basically support policy proposals that supermajorities of Americans on both the right and the left support…
What I think will isolate you in the end is saying fuck everyone who disagrees with you… you’re basically blaming the voters for being frustrated with their circumstances while dem leadership continues to disregard their own base while embracing corporate oligarchy…. You’re blaming the masses instead of the one who would rather have Trump in office than actually get anything done that would help regular Americans
Lol. It's not about refusing to work with people I disagree with. It's refusing to work with people who vote to HURT OTHERS, and they've had more than enough time to correct their ways if it was an honest mistake.
Spoiler Alert: It wasn't. They know what they're doing.
