I read the article this morning and felt like you that this isn't helping, BUT the woman has a good point about Democratic Party refocusing on ALL of their key demographics, including POC and NOT just for votes.

is that right? She's breaking up with the party that elected a black guy TWICE and who loves the shit out of him?

Breaking up to go where? I see she doesn't say she wants to make things better, just about breaking up -- well where the hell is she gonna go...to the alt reich tighty whities by just by the look of her they'd want to deport.

This is just more SELF DIVISIVE BULLSHIT. Thank you.

Seriously, so they are going to abandoned the party that is "not good enough" so that the party that actively hates them and does everything in their power to make their lives a living hell can triumph? Great strategy.

We are fighting for our lives here. Our democracy. I’m not saying the issues she raises don’t have merit, just that they are peacetime issues. We are at war.

Also she seems to like Harris. Is she not going to support he campaign if she runs? I’m sensing a lot of confusion by the author.

People should get involved locally. Once local Democrats work with them and get to like them, then there will be no issue with them gaining influence in their local and state parties. This crap about kicking the door in and saying "we want to take over" won't work.
