Y'all are making this WAY too complicated. They are BOTH old. One of them tried to cancel a lot of student loan debt and was stopped by the Supreme Court (so he canceled a little less). One of them is the reason the Supreme Court ended the right to an abortion in this country.

Due respect, I’m oh so very tired of being lectured by a socialist whose only electoral purchase is in Vermont. I’ll be the first to admit that there are problems in the Democratic Party. But if you’ve had a decade and two failed attempts at convincing even the most nominally.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

The goal cannot be to endlessly critique and theorize about power and the people who have it. At SOME POINT the goal must be to secure power and wield it to effectuate material change in people’s lives. Or else what’s the point of all of this??.

It’s not even a “lesser of two evils” situation here. Biden has an objectively impressive record on climate—including the American Climate Corps, a onetime huge priority for Sunrise. If your goal is action on climate, Biden is the only option. Pretending otherwise is delusional.

Kamala Harris made exactly zero (0) policy concessions to garner the Cheneys’ endorsements. Odds are if you know who the Cheneys are, you have sense enough to know what the stakes of this election are and why them voting for Kamala despite real policy differences matter so much.
I can't help but think that if (heaven forbid) Harris loses in November, it will be because she leaned too hard into the Liz Cheneys and ignored the voters most put off by the Cheney family and by US policy in the Middle East.

This is not correct. The Senate’s organizing resolution for committees (S. Res. 30) specifically provides for a successor to be chosen. Republicans may try and delay it, but they cannot unilaterally deny Democrats the committee ratio our majority provides.
Diane Feinstein’s passing all but ensures that Republicans can effectively block every federal judge nomination by denying a replacement for her seat on the judiciary committee.
