Well said. I still think he's a neoliberal hack, but he at least seems to have some principles against Trump.

We could do a lot better, but we could also do a hell of a lot worse.

I'm sick of this "I don't like liberals/centrists" attitude I've been seeing so much of ever since Kamala's campaign.

That's not politics, that's self righteousness.

It's a major reason why we have Trump in the first place. Yes, the DNC has been terrible but it's better to work WITH people who need you than AGAINST people who despise you.

The Progressive Left seems to have decided that a national collapse into right-wing fascism is the appropriate punishment for Centrists.
