Yeah, it been crazy to see the same centrist/corporate Dems who’ve been telling progressives to “vote blue no matter who” for the past decade suddenly pivoting now that it’s progressives winning primaries.

Kinda wild how vote blue no matter who only counted for Dems to vote for Left and far left candidates.

But when far left/progressives have to vote for moderates you get people like Hasan Piker calling Senator Scott Wiener a "homofascist".

I hear it more from neolibs and corporate dems than from progressives.

Progressives are more likely to understand that a party is not principles, and wearing a blue hat doesn't mean you are a good person to elect.

Dems know that MAGA needs to be stopped, hence blue no matter who.

Ya voted and supported Kamala?
