    We need a unified front to fight the fascists in office, and parading out the establishment Dems that caused this all to happen is not a winning strategy.

    We need new blood that will draw in new voters. And we need to decide who that new blood is before the end of the year so they can start primarying in January.

      Oh that makes sense so I guess we need to split the progressive vote, thanks for explaining it to me. /s

          If you demand the vote be united under a new and different banner than the one which reflects 90% of the same policy stance then you’re splitting the vote.

            If you demand the vote be united under a new and different banner

            I don’t. I recognize that the Democratic party is our best bet to move in a progressive way towards the Left.

            than the one which reflects 90% of the same policy stance

            Mamdani won the Democratic nomination. He’s still a Democratic Socialist of America (DSA). I don’t see this any different from the Tea Party within the GOP in the late 2000’s. We can have factions within the party, but in those factions we need to find unity.

            Establishment Dems are a faction that don’t deserve to be party of that unity. They seek to undermine material improvements for the working class while letting the billionaires get away with not paying their fair share.

            then you’re splitting the vote.

            100% the opposite
