Liberals have had over eight years to steady the ship, and they've spent that time alienating marginalized people and progressives and going farther and farther right with afaik no real resistance to trump. They've spent those eight years proving that we can't trust them at all to stop fascism or repair its damage. We should probably be pushing progressive democrats to start a new party with other more left people (though I'd fully expect republicans and the remaining democrats to team up and destroy their campaign so idk)
Problem is the media, and people who take everything it says for granted.
Just in that one comment alone you’ve mentioned the liberals, the marginalised, the progressives, the fascists, the republicans, and the democrats. And that’s why I’m apprehensive that adding another noun in that list is going to make things better… the left needs to consolidate to a new centre for the left, not fracture into another direction that delays consolidation further.
