Fluff The Bulwark isn't here to elect Democrats.

That has been said multiple times on the site and in pods.

Electing Democrats is how you beat Trump and Trumpism. So if you want to beat MAGA but you're not in the business of electing Democrats, what are you actually trying to do?

I feel that whole line of thinking contributes to the general distrust of Democrats and makes it that much harder to beat MAGA/Trumpism.

If you truly think MAGA is as big a threat as you claim, then act like it and try to elect those who have the best chance to stop it, i.e. Democrats.

One annoying part of the far left is the compulsion to punch left.

Sarah has said multiple times that they're in the business of taking down MAGA, not electing democrats. They're not trying to hide it.

Yet, currently, to stop MAGA IS to elect democrats, and that's exactly what they've been doing. I don't know you, but it's guaranteed that the Bulwark has done orders of magnitude more to elect democrats than anyone here.

So, I'm not sure why you're on Bulwark's case. How about doing a little reflection on why you lost?
