In reply to the discussion: CBC pushes back on Slotkin's call for 'new leadership' among Democrats [View all]QueerDuck
(2,179 posts)38. Spot on. Those advocating for "purity tests" would rather rule the ashes of our minority than win a majority.
Thank you! This post is the exact doses of reality this thread needs. The obsession with ideological perfection right before a critical election is exactly how Democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
It is incredibly short-sighted to attack the CBC or dismiss the party establishment over proxy grievances like AIPAC funding. The immediate, existential threat is the opposition, and the only way to stop them is with a united front.
We don't need a factional circular firing squad right now. We need to win seats. Once the gavels are secured, there is plenty of room at the table for new ideas and internal debates. But we can't build a big tent if we don't even own the ground it stands on.
