— and then go on to lose the general election.”

Except that is not their real fear. Their real fear is that the left will go on to *win* the general election, and, like Mamdani in NYC, prove that the left can govern. They are willing to throw the general election to Republicans by smearing the left and dividing and demoralizing the Dem base to avoid that outcome.

How do we know they are willing gamble in this way? Because that's how Trump won the first time.

Wood chipper

creating problems where there are none.

I live in Colorado and find it to be a state that has mostly balanced the issues of entitlement, environment etc programs, with reasonable taxation. 
Colorado is constitutionally required to pass a balanced budget and when the state generates a surplus, it is redistributed to taxpayers (a common occurrence over the past ten years). 
New progressives are proposing an aggressive and progressive tax rate up to 8.4%, with rates/income levels not indexed to inflation (current tax is flat 4.4%) 
Sure, there are things that need more funding, mostly medicaid/healthcare related, but...

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, who can’t run for re-election this year, has said a graduated income tax would be “absolutely devastating” to Colorado’s economy.

and then there is congressional candidate Melat Kiros, who cant even admonish a gunmen who shot jewish people in boulder last year.  

Threats to leave the city, country or party are not followed through enough

Another good one to hate...

But there is an underlying feeling that we share in Canada, and its importance cannot be overstated.

People are furious with ultra rich, powerful elites.

The social contract has been broken. People who work for a wage or salary (not a dividend or bonus) just can’t make the household math make sense.

And we’re looking up at the unlimited wealth of the 1% and we are pissed.

This groundswell of populist rage is legitimate, and it’s a completely predictable consequence of our economic system and how it has been managed for the last 50 years.

The desire to push back against the smug arrogance and creepy impunity of elites is a defining force in politics today.

It will either be harnessed by progressive politics, to balance the scales of society and make a fairer economy for all…

Or it will fuel fascism.

That’s the choice. And happily, it's up to us!

Which is why I’m so grateful to be doing the work of rebuilding the NDP into a national fighting force for the working class, and to see so many people rushing through the wide-open doors of our movement.

Corporate Democratic Shills

The message that I take from this and that resonates with me is that the expression and pursuit of ideals is pivotal and potentially transformative, even — and especially so — in the face of harsh realities.
