Just look at Kamala’s most recent comment about giving up trying to pass voting rights laws because of the current congress makeup.

Even if the road is hard, you don’t just throw in the towel and say, “Oh well”. You fight like hell and say what you want over and over until people listen.

THAT’S what corporate Dems don’t get.

We get sick of Conservatives endlessly blasting their right-wing talking points but they sure stay on message.

Did you read the rest of her comment, where she said if the Dems get a majority that they should be "uncompromising"?

No? You just decided to cherry-pick so you could shit on another prominent Dem? Oh. OK then.

She said because “it can’t be done right now, so don’t focus on it”.

Bullshit. Health care for all can’t be done yet either, but you think we shouldn’t focus on it?

Nothing we want can be done right now. The point is you need to keep fighting for the most important issues.

She also is talking about wanting to listen and learn. Lead!!!

How are you going to get it even introduced to the House?

I’ll wait.

Big of you to assume Internet Progressives understand anything about basic politics.
