So what, are we supposed to ignore reality and hope voters don’t notice? You think that’s a reliable strategy to avoid fascism? That’s not how society works. Brushing Democratic party flaws under the rug doesn’t keep voters from knowing the problems aren’t getting solved. Fascism thrives in the vacuum of Democratic ineffectiveness.

And I wonder if you level the same criticisms when the establishment punches left (which they do far more than punching right). Surrendering to Republican framing on everything from Israel to defunding police to trans issues is what loses elections.
