Yeah, Dems are going to fight against spoilers propped up by the GOP.

You’re an idiot to think they were anything aside from that.

As for Cornell West, https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/cornel-west-donation-harlan-crow-1234857237/

That’s bullshit. Dems win when turnout is larger. Turnout was significantly below 2020.

Dems have learned to never nominate a woman again, because this country is so fucking sexist.

Personal dignity?

Because we all know he will stop there.

My mom died.

My father taught me to hate myself.

You invite my “billionaires shouldn’t exist” TED talk.

GOP was setting the bar low for Vance before the debate, and he easily cleared it, so with low expectations, the consensus will be that he was fantastic. Walz was no surprise, he was fine, so I think folks are going to call it a slight Vance win. It won’t matter, neither got hit hard enough, it won’t move anything.

That’s an assholish characterization. And when I lived in Walpole, I had Ed Markey, too. I called his office a couple of times, said, “I vote for Ed Markey, and I want <…>” and they took down what I said, and my info, and I’d a letter reply a little while later.

My current rep is Adam Smith. He has actually been less responsive than other reps I’ve called, but I’ve gotten letters from his office after calling with my requests. And in talking to office staff, you can often find out how pressured they are over issues that constituents call about. They definitely care.

Tell them you’re withdrawing your support, and they’ll apologize, but you’re done getting listened to. They know it’s a waste of time.

I wonder who represents you. I don’t get blown off my my reps. And I don’t donate a ton of money, but I do volunteer.

You sound like you’ve never called or written to your representative or their office, or dealt with a local campaign office. Because what I describe is true, and what you describe is you declaring to the world, “I’m choosing to make myself irrelevant to everyone.”
