I’d describe myself as a liberal more than a progressive, but it’s obvious that she’s become the most recognizable Democrat at the federal level. Other democrats simply have not been pushing back on the Republicans in the way that she has, and it’s fucking baffling. My theory is that most politicians are really skilled at fundraising rather than building groundswell political movements and so they’re just completely out of their element in this environment. I don’t agree with all of the progressive platform, but we need more politicians with character like hers and fewer geriatrics who refuse to release their grip on power

It’s a lot less baffling if you consider the possibility that they never believed any of the shit they said about Trump being a threat to democracy, or if they did that part doesn’t bother them. It was Theater Time during the election and now it’s Cooperation Time, and actually you’re the extreme one for not just seamlessly switching modes!
