i’ll tell you what, man, if biden manages to survive and win another term, i hope he and his aides remember that it was mostly the ancient centrists — not the progressives and not the younger dems — who came behind up him with the knives, and that he responds in kind.
Not just the ancient centrists who came up behind him with the knives but also the very rich donors who had a massive freak out after the media operatives they regularly chatter with told them to freak out. Very rich Senator Warner then freaked out because the rich need the sense they're in control.
Pelosi and Schumer and co empowered and coddled all of these fucking snakes and now we have a bunch of trump curious Dems planning a coup to throw every primary vote in the trash and take control of a candidacy they could never win themselves
Which is wild since it was the left (or those declared to be left in response as a perjorative) who have been sounding the "cognitive issues" alarm for years, only to be shouted down or ignored by said ancient centrists.
As an ancient* centrist I endorse this wholeheartedly. It's like it's baked into their DNA to try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The whole thing is nuts.
*I'll accept "ancient" if only to emphasize that there are some ancient centrists who think the ones who are doing this are idiots.
Okay, so I appreciate Warner not doing this anonymously, and I also think the Biden comms team needs to be more open

At some point, we need to stop talking about "dems in disarray" and "bedwetters" and start talking about an attempted coup against a democratically elected nominee.
