    Fuck giving up or defeatism though. Lifetime Opposition just because of spite is the way for me.

      Seems more like a call for a Democratic version of the GOP’s Tea Party than “giving up” or “defeatism”.

      Call it the “Guillotine Party” for the applicable social precedent.

      I think their point isn’t defeatism, but rather that the Democratic party is hopeless. If your plan is lifetime opposition, then do that opposition through an avenue other than the DNC.
