    Right, but winning an election where your own party already required you to shut up about anything where you disagree – doesn’t seem like a win?

    I think there’s this idea that if we keep the Dems in power, then we’ll hit a point where we can return to discussion and fix issues within the party. But that’s a false idea. There will always be an opponent, and the idea that we should all fall in line just to avoid fascism is, well, misguided at best – because it’s also fascism. We’re already setting a precedent within the party to avoid dissidence. That’s wild.
