half-formed take in three parts
1. The left and center left factions of the Democratic party should vocally and publicly criticize each other,
2. in a "fair" and "sporting" way,
3. with the acknowledgement that the other side is still better than Republicans

i think #2 is the aspect democrats have the most difficulty with, which makes sense because it& #39;s obviously the most difficult of the three.

some things i wish they would do differently
- emphasizing how important and valid and ok it is for people to have their own opinions. "i disagree but that& #39;s okay, she has the right to speak her mind and represent her constituents, that& #39;s what Democracy is all about, etc"

- maybe a bright line rule about which districts AOC is "allowed" to support primary challengers in (e.g., anything D+10 or better + anyone under investigation). maybe legitimizing that subset of primary challenges would be "enough" or maybe she& #39;d require some further concession

- a baseline assumption of good faith that includes a reasonable amount of suspension of disbelief
- at least some public show of being kind of friendly?
