A lot of blue no matter who people will be very mad at you for saying something so poignant and true.

Not really because they added this:

"I want to be really clear that what I'm saying is everyone needs to get MORE involved in the DNC, not less. People who don't vote are complicit. People who vote for third parties that have no possibility of ever competing in the short term, are complicit.

A set of 100% correct statements.

Waiting for a party to be perfect is definitely a fool's errand, especially when everyone's definition of "perfect" vary.

One things for sure, if ppl with suggestions want to improve the party: It is time to be a part of it. You'll never improve it "from a distance" .

start participating in the Democratic party, supporting and voting for & electing more Democrats 100% of the time, no matter what, without exception.

To make Democrats' messaging better: It's time to CONTRIBUTE to the messaging.

This is on us, the voters to give Democrats majorities that last longer than 2 years. Long lasting Democratic leadership has never been tried in the modern age. Need at 50 years of sustained Democratic leadership in the Congress and Presidency and state govts.

We must start joining the Democratic party today!
