If the fundraising numbers are to be believed almost all the big donors are only giving to the GOP anyway

Unfortunately, many moderates are posting through it rather than figuring out some way to fight back. It is a bad look to post about the bad things happening and the rest of us going..

Any establishment dem voice at this point is just mad on behalf of their lib/centrist donors

Biden's approach of waiting for the fever to break, reaching across the aisle, delivering for red areas to assuage their extremism? A total and comprehensive (and foreseeable!) failure. The fever has only risen. They bit that outstretched hand. Time to put the GOP down like the rabid dog it is.

Is all I’m saying. People are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. To borrow a phrase.

And there are bad actors out here trying to widen that divide for their own purposes as well. A lot of 'em work off the same script, so they're easy enough to spot if you see enough of them.

I think some of the lining up behind him came from repeatedly getting kicked in the teeth. They may be fickle, but they mostly know to follow where the wind is blowing. They can't keep their cushy jobs if they lose.

Kinda worried about the media. Every other Atlantic headline at this point. The war with the NYT was an enormous factor in bringing down Biden. The death of any semblance of a "liberal media" has been a crippling blow to the Democratic party, and it's on full display right now.

And the nyt reporter says as much in the comments section of his article

I think this point was illustrated 9 years ago when Gillibrand decided to go on a crusade against Franken and ultimately succeed and getting him to resign. One could argue about the nobility of this but she absolutely destroyed any future political ambition with this move.

Even then I think that's more to do with Cuomo then dem establishment
