I've said it before and I'll say it again; Palestine revealed how out of touch the DNC is with the American public, and how little those in power think of us on the ground. People acted accordingly.

The comments of that thread are demonstrating your points perfectly, in particular to the DNC's overall attitude. Even after all that's happened, they are still denigrating pro-Palestinians for being "single-issue voters" and letting "perfect be enemy of the good" (ie, the same tired talking points which worked oh-so-well the LAST FUCKING TIME), and that encapsulates perfectly just how little Libs have learned or will learn; Whether it's those with actual direct power, their donor benefactors, or, as shown here, the Blue MAGA dipshits on the ground carrying water for them.

Whatever moment of genuine self-reflection for the party is going to be drowned out by a cacophony of Yes-Men repeating the same mantras like a broken record. Just the same ideas that the a) the Dems ran the perfect campaign, b) that the Leftists/minorities stabbed them in the back and c) the only lessons to take from this loss are entirely superficial (my mind goes to when some MSM talking heads "analyzed" Hasan's rant but all they took from it was that the Dems needed to reach out to the Twitch crowd).

Silver lining is that is that this leaves the Left in a position to expand and grow by absorbing more and more fragments of the Democratic party's base, but that won't come to us automatically no matter how much mainstream libs shoot themselves in the foot.

perfect be enemy of the good

Which DOESN'T FUCKING APPLY HERE. This is BAD being the enemy of the good. Perfect being the enemy of the good would be something like refusing a permanent ceasefire, because they want Israel abolished entirely right now.

If these people actually cared about not letting perfect be the enemy of good, they would be communists
