The complaint is that the party doesn't act like a political party, but as a fundraising and jobs op, and seems allergic to wielding power for the agenda it sells its voter base on every cycle. And people are tired about the buck being passed back to them.
At some point, "sorry we couldn't do the shit we ran on, even after telling you 'the very fabric of democracy is at stake' like three cycles in a row, guess you didn't vote hard enough and need to redouble your efforts" runs out of runway.

fuck every young climber that's like this to undocumented Americans, go do something else other than politics
bit much guys, this shit isn't a game to some people, where you can just keep losing and cashing in with no consequences for yourself
they're going to flake on this same group of people again, like always, how the fuck are they supposed to feel, and stop fucking telling them to do it the right way™
This is just blatantly untrue. Sanders has released more health records than nearly all of his contemporaries –– three different physician summary letters. (thread documenting)
Here are those three physician summary letters, including a long and detailed overview of his full medical history from Sanders' (78) primary care physician.
Joe Biden (77) released, no not his full "medical records going back decades," but rather a detailed three-page summary letter from his primary care physician.
The reason I keep hounding Warren on Medicare for All is that I think she's being fundamentally dishonest about her position, and is trying to muddle the debate and string people along, self-servingly.
It's hard to watch her events or interviews and not get the clear impression that:
– she doesn't prioritize it, and rarely mentions it in her stump
– she defines it simply as universal healthcare, and "the best coverage for the lowest price"
– she doesn't have a "plan" posted
– she doesn't ever talk about policy specifics, as if she doesn't want to give up a soundbite
– she doesn't define the transition or timeframe
– she doesn't define the coverage
– she pivots to a criticism of insurance companies (good, but… deflection from an affirmative policy)
