It’s not enough. The House elections happen every two years. AIPAC can successfully primary progressive politicians if we don’t vote for them.
Murphy spells it out. Democrats are moving to the right to get people who aren’t 100% with them on social and cultural issues. There is a huge base of people in the US that support Israel. And they tend to be consistent older voters.

Democrats moving to the right are only going to lose more and more voters, because the only reason people vote for them is because they aren’t as far to the right as Republicans. It sure looks like moving to the right cost Harris the election, they’re destroying their only appeal.
And those voters that they lose will be looking for a new party, because they won’t let themselves be dragged to the right. So while the Democrats destroy their own party it makes perfect sense for progressives to abandon ship and reform into a new party to replace them.
This is all academic, of course. In reality we might not be able to vote ever again lol
It will definitely lose them progressive votes. And it probably won’t gain them many conservative votes. But the Democrats are still going to try anyway. They look at who voted and chase those people’s votes. edit: typo
Most of the country wants a new party, but our FPTP system mathematically guarantees they will never get it.
lol

Yeah, Democrats look at losing millions of voters and assume it was because they were woke. Can’t wait for Democrats to start campaigning on taking my hormones away to win over conservatives!

We’re fucked 🙃
