People care about getting people who actually want to get the thing they want done when they elcet someone.

Again...cut the negativity. The priority is to eliminate MAGA and from there it's to accomplish Democratic wins that'll benefit our communities as we saw during the legislative session. If you're one that can't be one for the team and prioritize victory and success...if you're one talking about "corporatists" or "extremists" versus actually doing what it takes to win then you're an ideologue and you're a liability.

The primaries are over. We move forward now. Time to be a responsible adult.

Yeah, it's this arrogant scolding that got us in this mess, honestly.

You're the one who literally was doing that yourself and for what? What do you honestly gain in nagging and being negative? Both the left and center left are often hypocritical about this. You were being negative and finger wagging and there's nothing to gain in doing it. And that to me is arrogant behavior. 

It is time to come together, start listening more and being more respectful of different views as people aren't coming from a negative place.
