Honestly, I implore people to stop listening to rich people with nothing at stake who are on social media flogging their Substacks and MSNBC appearances who aren’t running for office or helping a campaign.

I don't know why anyone would think splitting the entire left-of-center vote and continuing to blame Democrats for what Republicans do would be anyone’s idea of the best response to what is now a bit more than creeping authoritarianism.

I don’t know when some of the progress I want will happen again but I can tell you when it won't happen: when Rs capture more of the administrative apparatus of elections which they've been doing and plan to continue to and make it practically impossible for people they don't like to vote against them and matter.
It’s not like people weren’t warned for quite some time.
