I’m not abstaining. But “we finally beat Medicare” has legs. If you can’t see that, you don’t remember Howard Dean.

Progressives aren’t making threats. We’ve been here before and we see what’s happening. We know what’s at stake and we know that centrists are so fucking pigheaded that they’ll keep making a massive mistake and then blame everyone who tried to fucking warn them.

You would rather lose and have someone to blame than admit you’re wrong and win.
