This doesn't mean you have to be a corporate democrat and throw civil rights under the bus. We have two different concepts of what different is.

LITERAL CIA telling people they should be okay with incrementalismI never liked Spam Burger
thats what they never have a true answer for. If Bernie is the most popular Left/Dem person in politics he would never lose a national primary. It's always rigged and bias and never that he's just not as popular as the bubble that props him up. Obama would beat Bernie in likely 40/50 states on any given day and I actually think it's like 45. I severely dislike where Joe Manchin stood and how he generally broke party line. But, in the rust belt he would likely beat Bernie for the coveted white working class in rust belt states. I also don't see how Emma is all fukk these states that Dem's lose anyway, Those votes still matter and they can still help win seats down ballot. But, No they don't matter until the Messiah Bernie loses them in the primary and those votes keep him from winning the majority or the plurality of the votes. Then it's cheating and rigged, and the same thing for whomever their next Bernie Messiah is.
I don't know how many times it has to be explained that just because people poll highly on a question doesn't mean they will vote for the person that best gives them that policy. I live in the largest city in Kansas (Wichita). It's a Reddish/Purple city. This City effectively saved abortion in KS. yet our Rep is always a Republican. However, we are also responsible for KS having a Dem Governor. But, we are definitely going to be the reason that we end up a with a Republican Governor this next cycle. Oklahoma City and Kansas City are our larger metro's south and north respectively. OKC is more red than us, and KC is I would say more blue than us, but they have a rural red metro that is effectively what washes out Missouri. IF the KC metro were solidly blue and coupled with St. Louis Metro having a similar problem Missouri wouldn't be a solid Red state. But, that is where Gerrymandering puts it over the edge. Which would be less possible if those rural areas were as flexible with party choice as they are with policy proposals. Like if Cori Bush ran completely on Mamdani's platform she may be able to pull her seat back in congress. But if she tried to run for Senate or Governor she would get blown the fukk out. Hell Josh Hawley's most recent challenger toss in a few of Mamdani's issues he could maybe win over a few extra "white votes" even though he routinely embarrassed Hawley on the trail and still loss, but that was likely more Trump than Hawley.. Same thing in Kansas Mamdani/Bernie type of platform would likely win blind polling. But, come ballot voting time the tried and true support for Moran or Marshall will most likely win out. Marshall is on the ballot in 2026 and Sharice Davids is possibly his best potential challenger, and part of her home district is rural and she's won them over for a decade. I still don't think she could win western KS which is even more rural. So it would come down how she performs against him here in Wichita and I don't think she can draw out or win enough of the "white working class", add in her being a lesbian is likely a wash here, but some people likely no vote or vote against her state wide. Her people are inching her towards being the challenge for Marshall. And some of that is due to Trumps redistricting push. Which KS legislature is going to meet on this week. But, the temperature is cool even from the GQP they are scared of the mid-decade backlash.
But, I say all that to just to echo we effectively don't matter in Emma's logic because Dems never win the state. Dem President hasn't won KS since 1964, Even though Dems have won the governorship 6 times in the same span. And our state SCOTUS which we vote for retention and has a mandatory retirement at age 75. Currently 5 of which have been appointed by a Dem Governor these people still matter.

they also have to grapple with the fact that "Bernieism", as it was born in 2016, is almost completely dead in 2025
go back to Bernie's 2016 campaign, and almost everything he was talking about is absolutely dwarfed by the weird identity politics that define progressivism today
not to mention the fact that they can't even name a successor. apparently it's some kind of AOC/Mamdani hybrid, that doesn't actually exist
Could Mamdani win her governor’s seat?
what civil rights?
As your boy Ezra who you post about daily puts it we should move right on things like affirmative action so we can win Asians
