I can’t tell you how frustrating it is as progressive to be attacked by your own party for fighting for people who need it most. Called “radical leftists” for wanting everyone to be well, healthy, whole, housed, secure, treated fairly, valued & free. WE deserve better than that.

I couldn’t agree more. Progressives have been invisiblized, even purged by the party. Many progressives feel politically homeless now. Vote for Biden, yes. But the question is “Then what?” Stay & fight, or form new party? Many living that question now.

Can’t think of any reason to stay with Party which is home to neocons now and election after election takes our vote for granted, while pursuing the elusive on-the-fence Republicans (which conveniently correlates with pursuing the agenda of the rich donors & corporate interests).

If we vote in enough Progressive candidates we will be faced with a choice once we reach a critical mass: do we challenge the Democratic Party or do we remake it in OUR image? #notmeUS
