One of the problems with many on the Left is that we get very activated by the adrenaline-filled presidential contests, sometimes midterms. Other side of the political spectrum remains attuned to political issues - even the more boring ones - throughout the year. We need to, too.

Yup. Neoliberal politics is just a trip to Election DisneyLand every few years to feel good about Democracy while very few can say they cast votes in any other domain of their lives. Mangerial class is comfortable with undemocratic corporate and non-profit hierarchy’s

You forgot to mention the never ending/continual obsession with removing Trump from office that leaves little time for them to work on actual problems that concern ordinary everyday WORKING CLASS Americans.

Truth! Let go of the drama.

Yes, this is the difference between a political adolescent (run! a squirrel! a POTUS contest!) and a political adult (ok time to get someone who shares my views on the town board and pack away some policy nuggets...)

Says the woman who tried to leapfrog her way into the presidential primary. Hypocrite!

Patriotic Americans please work to fix the Democratic Party—Other Patriots have been at work on the Republican Party—we’ve made a lot of ground but both parties have a way to go.

Organization is key but neglected by a generation of activists that lean toward occasional mobilizations to vent their spleen and express moral outrage. Americans don't protest to get things done; to Americans, protest is a form of therapy, a cathartic, like an art build.

I would prefer you make thoughtful statements about what’s right and good about the left.

It’s cuz liberals don’t actually DO anything. They just ‘talk’ and the best time to do that is around elections when people are ‘listening’. Kinda.
