Gang, this isn't complicated. You make demands, but declare ahead of time you will not take any action to harm the Dems by not voting for them, and this give up all leverage. Then they continue to lock in GOP policies, that's tye best path forward.

    You fight the Democratic establishment 364 days a year

    So many sick burns from people who do not read well.

    Buddy, I read your dumb argument. You're surrendering on the only day that matters and wonder why you never win.

    Centrists love to pretend that people who don't buy their shitty arguments are just too stupid to understand them.

    Oh yeah, cause the main point of politics to American liberals isn't to weild power or alter policy. It's to demonstrate that they, personally, are better people. And leftists not accepting their VBNMW failed nonsense is an unacceptable contradiction to that self image.

    It really is just secular Calvinism.

    He explicitly said that by declaring ahead of time that you will vote for whatever candidate they have no reason to change their establishment or respond to your "fighting" it. The only point of leverage that you have over them is not voting for them, which deprives them of the power and wealth that they're trying to seek by being elected. So, if you surrender that single point of leverage, then what does your fighting consist of?
