It is important to distinguish between the policies of Democrats and the policies of "Progressives."

My wife and I have been saying this for a long time now--"progressives" are more interested in the self-serving feeling of being "right" than they are in winning.

They have invaded our beloved Democratic Party and made their positions LOUDLY and everywhere. It is important when people write about non-Republicans to clearly make a distinction between Democrats and Progressives. They are NOT the same. They are as different as Democrats and Republicans. So it is not surprising at all that people can endorse Democratic positions and at the same time reject Democrats---it is because they see people running as Democrats as actually being part of the progressive, not Democratic, movement. They are rejecting progressives.

Everyone knew that Harris was not really a Democrat but was a progressive. Just because she recently dropped all of her progressive nonsense talk didn't mean anything---people knew she was just talking in a more moderate/Democratic way to win votes. For one thing, she chose the most progressive governor as her running mate.

Democrats have a choice: kick progressives out of the party and stop identifying them as Democrats or keep losing.

A culture for embittered Democrats that now stoops to denial and serious name-calling of political opponents rather the modest introspection a measure of humility. Proving that it's going to take a few more lopsided losses for them to shake their self-righteous arrogance.
