I think that instead of the constant bickering (understatement) between these two factions, it would be really helpful if we started with an acknowledgment of the shared goals. “We both want xyz (also a good opportunity to refine our message and stick with it, bc it’s not even totally clear to the broader public what Dems even stand for anymore) but we disagree on how to get there.”
I think we need to take a page out of improv and move towards a yes/and approach. If not, I fear permanent gridlock.
