Instead of posturing to defend their faves, I wish the people extolling the virtues of primary challenges in safe Dem seats would read the fucking room long enough to realize the resources would be better spent expanding the goddamn map by taking seats from The Insurrectionists.

Open seats are fair game, but we've spent three years making excuses for extreme leftists who would rather "purify" The Democratic Party instead of taking the fight to Republicans and your fucking credibility is circling the drain.

You have emboldened a bunch of tankie sympathizers and goofy conspiracy theorists who road tested half the attacks on the Democratic Party currently being used by conservatives but your pride will not allow you to admit your faves ain't never been shit but a bunch of saboteurs.

And at every turn, you insist THIS TIME they'll do better.

Until they don't.

Then, you start scrambling for rationalizations about how ratfucking Democrats from the so-called left is good, actually. Just embarrassing to watch you move the goalposts daily.

But nothing will deter you fuckers. You'll continue to insist splitting your resources to fend off primary challenges instead of consolidating your forces to expand the Dem footprint in Congress is good, actually. And besides, if you're white or white adjacent, YOU will be fine.

So I will close this rant with one simple question: are there ANY so-called leftist, "Democrats are the same as Republicans" types challenging the seats of conservatives who don't accept the results of the 2020 election and/or deny the events of 1/6/2021?

I'm sure there has to be at least one, right?

Rant over. Enjoy your breakfast cereals and fruit baskets.
