I have been writing some version of Mary McKim's letter in my head to the various podcast hosts on a weekly basis for months. I would really just once love to hear Sarah acknowledge the precarious voters on the left side of the Democratic coalition--the other swing voters who destroyed the Dems in 2010, 2014, 2016, etc. She acts like they don't exist. The Bulwark is an important voice in lifting up the red dog Democrats & Trump-> Biden voters but they never even mention all the young people & progressives that bit their tongue and sucked it up to vote for Joe Biden. How are we going to get these folks excited about the midterms if Biden breaks all of is promises to please Sinema?

To clarify... by 'destroy' I mean these people don't show up to vote or they vote 3rd party because they're demoralized by the lack of policy progress & they don't tend to accept excuses about the makeup of the Senate. Anyone who has ever door knocked or phone banked for Democrats knows these people exist. It's not just a left twitter phenomenon.
