    “I would be disappointed if it comes in at 225 House seats,” Carville told host Bill Kristol. “I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats to win by five, because, if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA.”

    This person is a shithead.

      “Vote blue no matter who” literally means vote for the establishment candidate - and nothing else.

      Realistically it means we have a shit system with shit choices. Generally leaving us with open fascism or alternatives too accepting or comfortable with it.

      Slogans by necessity are simple and lacking nuance. The slogan is fine. Unfortunately we need a wall against fascism. Establishment neoliberal Democrats are a shit wall to be sure. Only slowing Fascism’s creep. Which is still better. But fuck each and every neoliberal who wont stand together in return. One by one leaving them politically powerless and homeless.
