I mean, it's a valid question. Why are the Democrats censuring their own? Why aren't the Democrats supporting the popular candidates who can mobilize voters but are more progressive than they would like?

So you're telling me, “That’s just how Republicans are.”

No, I'm saying we need to clean house before looking across the aisle. If we can't even convince our own side that this is urgent and not a game, how on earth are we going to convince the people actively tearing the country apart?

Also, if you think a well reasoned article and an open ear are enough to get the republicans to change, you're sorely mistaken.

Okay, what does cleaning house look like? Because some of those people are in red districts. Also, could you fix the gerrymandering while you're at it? The electoral college is pretty bad and so is voter suppression. After we do all that, we'll get money out of politics.
