He's always been an asshole. If Senate Democrats fall in line behind him, I'm almost willing to guarantee a Republican victory in 2028.

If they go with Schumer for the Senate or Jeffries for the House, I will vote Green in 2028. Fuck the DNC. I won't compromise for Israel.

It'd be better to vote in primaries for better candidates

This. There is a mechanism for choosing who gets to be on the ballot. Tell your friends and family to show up for primaries. Tell them they can't complain about the ballot if they don't have a hand in shaping it.

I get it and am there in frustration with you and we really do need more than just a two party shit-show. Our political system is set up third party's are impractical at best.

I fairly certain that the neoliberal third way dems wouldn't mind at all if you, I or anyone else that threatened their grift left the party.

I think it would be more productive to reshape the party from within. Maybe its time for mass protests before the new congress. Millions in the streets to show these fucks the door.
