@Nivek you are missing the point. When I talk about Warren’s toxicity, I’m talking about the negative electoral drag her influence exerts on the rest of the party, and since her “leadership” on bitcoin played a decisive role in making Trump president, it’s hard to argue otherwise. And Hillary Clinton’s largely unearned influence did the same thing.
And you seem to understand the point, but choose to ignore it, since you seem to think that Ted Cruz is liked by Republicans and R-leans, which is flatly incorrect. He’s mostly tolerated.
So no, I am not falling for right-wing anything. What I am doing is humbling myself to the reality of the situation and what the data tells me, regardless of whether it confirms my worldview or aspirations. The fact that the Democratic Party doesn’t have the strategic discipline to do the same is the primary reason I don’t really identify with it anymore.
Hope is great, but it’s not a strategy. Neither is disdain.
