    Have you put any energy into telling moderates they need to wake the fuck up? Did you tell anyone they were an asshole for voting for Biden in the 2020 primaries?

      I worked for the sanders campaign in 2016 and 2020, I worked with a group called the restaurant opportunities center to help get paid sick days mandated in the city of pittsburgh and on an ongoing campaign to eliminate the tipped minimum wage in pennsylvania, I volunteer at a food bank and give people rides to the polls on election day. I don’t owe you my credentials but there they are, out in the real world doing the real work to make things better for real people while you’re throwing a tantrum online to punish the “moderates” because you’re too cowardly to pick a fight with the people who have openly stated that they want to seize power so they can hurt you and me. “Did you tell anyone they were an asshole?” What the fuck sort of strategy for actually getting anything done is that. If being obnoxious, smug and morally superior was ever gonna work why hasn’t it?

        You’re in here calling me privileged and cowardly and telling me I’m throwing a tantrum when I say I’m voting 3rd party or write in. Clearly you think name calling and personal attacks work. So why aren’t you trying it on moderates?

        And for the record I phone banked, canvassed and donated in both the 2016 and 2020 primaries and general elections. I voted for Biden in the 2020 general. I won’t be doing that again.
