To be clear, I am no apologist for the Democratic establishment.

To be clear, that's the only thing you have ever been or ever will be.

Giving the false impression that their vote won’t count is counterproductive.

Pointing out that the party does everything it can to ratfuck progressives means that they might respond to pressure to stop, and you don't want that.

Oh, fuck off. I've been brutal towards the establishment. I just want them beaten, and pretending elections are rigged is counterproductive to that end. You're nothing but a right wing agitator.

they might respond to pressure to stop

Why would they? It's apparently working. Now who is suddenly feeling charitable towards the establishment? You think they can be shamed into playing nice? You are so full of shit.

Yes, you brutally defend them every chance you get no matter what they do.

You think they can be shamed into playing nice?

Yeah, they'll only change by unconditional enthusiastic support every time they betray anyone to your left.

Uhuh. Read someones history before making that judgement. Disagreement with your bad takes does not make someone a centrist.
