But, every time I read about something she has said, I don't hear much but the same bit over and over, and I don't perceive much wisdom or pragmatism.
I don't care to have serious conversations with Quixote wannabes.

.....and announce that they won't vote for Biden this year.

Brianna Gray has done both.

credibility she thinks she has

Chomsky has been very consistent on this. He argued this in 2016 and the Gray’s didn’t listen to him then, and it is no surprise they still don’t listen to him. Their stubbornness is amazing

Chomsky argued in 2016 it is that mindset that made hitler possible

It is so easy for people like Gray to play their intellectual games while people die and suffer

Bernie’s appointment of Gray, Turner, and Sirota to high positions in his campaign were one of the biggest mistakes he made

Thanks for this George. It shows that Gray has learned nothing from the last four years

Did the sitting out of the 2016 election push the Dems to the left?

Her strategy has been tried and it has failed.

The ~200k Democrats in Florida that voted for Bush instead of Gore had much more to do with the narrow loss of Florida than anything else.

I guess in her imaginary world Democrats have been in complete control for the past 30 years and Republicans haven't become a radical right-wing transnational criminal organization with enormous power and wealth whose goal is a dysfunctional government.

It's sad when a fool loves the sound of their own voice.
