If democrats just accept that they’re going to have turncoats in the legislature, they don’t get to demand perfect lockstep from voters. They can’t keep control of a couple hundred people, but expect to scold millions into voting for them no matter what they do.
We’re going to nominate someone who does things you find abhorrent. We will put all our resources into making certain that no one who prioritizes what you prioritize makes it through the primaries, and not really give much of a shit about the general. We will shout abuse at you for all criticism, demand but never think of earning your vote, and blame you every time we lose, regardless of how you vote.
We will fervently and lovingly kiss the asses of the worst republicans of the previous decades just to gloat about how far to the right we’ve taken the party.
When has any leading Democrat “shouted abuse” at the voting public?
You seem to taking the unpopularity of your politics very personally and blaming the Democratic Party as an institution - as opposed to the majority of Americans, who just don’t agree with you.
I take it by your ignoring my first question you don’t have an actual answer.
Your shitty wing would have lost by more. People thought Kamala was too far left. The only people insisting she was too far right wouldn’t have turned out to vote regardless. It’s your own fault. Your side is politically irrelevant.

She tried to court them and only them anyway.
EDIT: misread as “not far enough to the right.” If people who thought she was too far to the right were so insignificant that they could be safely ignored, they’re too insignificant to blame for the loss she earned by moving to the right to please your shitty wing of the party.

When do Democrats “demand perfect lockstep?”
How is it possible to demand that of the average person, who votes about once every two years?

Your shitty wing of the party lost to trump twice because it wouldn’t listen to the people.

My wing doesn’t support genocide.

According to you, your wing got Trump elected, so it does.
Was healthcare, civil rights, education and equitable taxation not enough of a carrot?
Now where did I say that? Your wing is the one that thought genocide was the most winningest issue ever.
What are you talking about? “Perfect lockstep?”
