16. Profound misuse of the 'Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good here.' axiom.

Thu Sep 4, 2025, 12:31 PM

Yesterday

Suozzi is literally calling for AOC and others to leave the Democratic Party.

Not only is that a hardcore 'purity test' but it would be ruinous for our Party if adopted as SOP.

Start demanding (from a leadership level) elected Dems (of the typology who centrists to conservative Dems like Problem Solver Suozzi and others happen to disagree with) leave (or worse, be tossed out of) the Democratic Party and watch our national vote tallies plummet, especially with the under 45yo younger cohorts.
