The amount of left wing folks on some of the more extreme instances bashing the most left wing people in the American Democratic party because they're not complete socialist idiologes is just wild. Like I want to see a major shift towards some form of democratic socialism in America and think we definitely need real change in that direction, but the hatred for elected officials closest to your views just because they aren't extreme enough for you is silly.

I don't understand why they feel the need to attack the left win branch of the DNC when Joe Manchin equists. When the Republican party exists. Focus efforts on some positive change and getting people you want in office instead of trying to tear down what should be an ally. Make the people you think aren't extreme left enough the conservatives of a new wave. The defeatest attitude that just criticizes the closest thing they have to what they want is just silly.

Other than a violent change of the guard/revolution. It's not going to be an instant process. You have to accept small progress where you can get it.

Folks don't realize real change can't happen drastically and realistically be expected to remain. It's going to be baby steps. Getting them to believe gradual change isn't worth fighting for is a great way to maintain the status quo. They don't raise they are their own worst enemies.

Gradual change sets the conditions for drastical change.
