      yeah obviously moderate dems and DINOs like Manchin are never going to go for that. If that’s your bar for voting for democrats you’re being completely unrealistic.

        Realistically, we’re going to have to demand the impossible if we want to solve climate change and half a dozen other major existential issues.

          What’s impossible is asking humans to work together for the good of all. Enough people think that such behaviour is treason that they will start a violent insurrection to stop it.

          and how do you intend to “demand” that? if you mean withholding your vote until they cater to your specific view of the way things should be done you’re going to be waiting forever. and in the meantime republicans will keep fucking things up even worse.
