i get that it is entertaining and therapeutic to see the revolution appear to consume itself, but let's not forget that the group we are talking about is saying that the modern day Democrat party (and by extension Biden and his contemporaries) is not far ENOUGH left. is that something we really think we need to prop up with behind the scenes funding?

i would submit that this isnt the enemy destroying itself but rather RADICALIZING itself even further by burning off the chaff.

the only hope, as i see it, is that somehow, someway this makes the mainstream Democrat party back away from this extremism and move towards the center. but honestly, i put the chances of that at less than 1%.

i dont know where this all goes, and it honestly scares me quite a bit.

The vast majority of the left agree with this.

The only way the Democrat Party re-centers itself is by getting beat in the booth. Right now they are on a winning streak and at this point they see no need in changing.

EXACTLY!

Biden and the Democrats can never go far enough left or be anti-Israel enough for them. The Dems have to tightrope here, as many, if not most, of their mega-donors are Jewish.

We just need them to either sit this one out, or we need to prop up a leftist alternative for them. Say Cornell West?

The agenda isn't to strenghthen them, but to divide them.
