I will vote for anyone that will oppose trump the best. I understand the angst against some establishment Dems, I have some of that too. However I feel it is reasoned in this era to support the most likely person to win who opposes the Trump Agenda, that is the only purity test for now. If we get out of this storm we can then be more puritan in our litmus tests of politicians both moderate liberals and progressives. Until our Republic is out of the clear and present danger I will vote for and promote an establishment dem that opposes the Trump agenda and I will support the most radical democratic socialist who opposes trump whomever I judge has a better shot at winning in November.
I guess I'm a reform from within guy... I feel any of us left of full support of Don the Con need as much unity as possible to defeat him and his minions. I think progressives need to cool some of the purity tests and I think establishment Dems need to look at the strong points of the progressives and the energy level that is there and appreciate it and harness it not scorn it.
I believe with some more pointed, clear, critique AND always offering an alternative vision to Trump's terrible policy the democratic party can make the tent big enough for mainline Dems and the more progressive wing... We can't fracture, we can't split, not right now... left of being a Trumper we must be in this 200% together and once out of this storm we can duke out the rest-but not till then.
That's my take on it all... I think I've said before I feel I have a foot in both "camps" on the left the more establishment camp and the more progressive camp... Neither camp should be trying to throw the baby out with the bathwater...
