@edgarblythe,
Quote:The people here who seem to think any Democrat will do, so long as it removes Trump, are playing into their hands.
I don't think that there are people who believe "any Democrat will do". That Democrat will have to win enough votes to 1) win the nomination and 2) go on to victory in November. "Any" Democrat can't do that. But the Democrat who
does ought to be supported. If "progressives" are seen as instrumental in the candidate's victory, they will be heard and will have a part to play in the new administration, even if the winner is seen as more of a moderate. If the left wing of the party refuses to support the candidate and it wins, they will have effectively written themselves out of a constructive role within the party. And, of course, if they sit on their hands and the Trump party wins...well, I don't think I need to spell out the consequences.
Who's the "they" that I italicized in your comment?
