Appreciate your delineation of liberals, progressives, and leftists—it certainly is time for them/us all to unify at least to protect against further domestic regression. Why many Leftists/Marxists balk at concern for women’s issues and environmental/biosphere degradation and climate change points only to how utterly distorting and imbalanced ideologies of political economy can be, as if life is only about the quantification of labor and objective measurement and nothing to do with aesthetics or meaning. And while the Palestine-Israel situation is a heartbreaking tragedy, to distill what matters down solely to these archetypal forever-wars is to actually fail to understand how power operates in spheres. We need to redefine the United States

In other words, though your words are eloquent, it’s not the time to center every little tent under the big Democratic tent as We work to defeat Donald Trump and MAGA. If we lose, all those little tents won’t matter. It’s time to center democracy, win, and Move ahead. Unless we have the power that emanates From unity, we have nothing.

I think that we came perilously close to the precipice......I sense that out of a stark realization that all of us have been endangered...the democrats now have a POSITIVITY THAT IS RESULTING IN A REAL SENSE OF UNITY...And we are entering into a renewal of energy and possibility.I do believe that if stein or williaams attempt to enter the scene they will be shunned.

They ARE in the race. I know Stein has qualified on several ballots and not sure about Williamson. The first is a cynical pal of Vlad's. The second is a grifter using new age mumbo jumbo to raise her speaking fee, sell some merch and take a few thousand votes here or there without give AF about the consequences. The REAL deplorables.
