I'm not advocating for voting against dems, i'm saying the democrats cannot win in the current political environment by being moderate. That has always been the message, but democrats insisted that they could win if they abandoned progressive causes. It's the same thing that has happened in every fascist uprising - the moderate party could no longer hold a majority because the majority of the country had fled the center.
It's not a sense of moral righteousness that you're seeing, it's indignation that liberals - who claimed to believe in the same things as their progressive base but refused to act on them - lost us the election because they'd rather continue collaborating with fascists and preserve a method of governance that caused our current situation than have to reckon with a base that was pleading them to do something substantial.
Democrats chose to say 'fuck off' to their base, and now their sycophants are really out there in the comments trying to blame everyone else
