    We clearly live in different timelines, the DNC have had 48 or less senators for over 13 years. If you want party reform you need to get initiatives on local ballots, if you want a progressive and democratic future then you need to vote DNC in the generals.

        Gavin is digging his own grave, I’m sure those ballot measures will amount to something when progressives are back in power in Cali. Gavin is the sole opponent to the 2019 ranked choice voting.

            I bet you said the same thing about Bloomberg. Regardless of his low chances of primary success, he would still be infinitely better than Trump.

              Nope. Biden was the predetermined nominee in 2020. Bloomberg was a means to that end.

              And you support any candidate over a progressive. Including and especially trump.

                Biden won the 2020 Primary, about doubling Sanders’ votes. Are you implying Bernie Sanders is also just pretending to be progressive and intentionally throwing?

      Have you not noticed them failing to get support over the last 13+ years by trying the same strategy over and over again?

      Why should we keep doing more of the same if it hasn’t worked? I don’t get this logic?

      Complicit liar. They had 50 in their caucus and the turncoats were all democrats. The turncoats did what you wanted, so you’re lying for them.

        A Caucus is when Independents and third parties rally under their banner. The DNC currently have 45 seats.

          They had 50 under biden. But since they voted with republicans like you wanted them to, you’re lying for them.

              They had 48 democrats, and two independents who caucus with democrats.

              From a functional standpoint that’s 50. At least it is until just enough democrats turn quisling and vote like you want. Stop lying. Stop making excuses.
