      You start by killing the elephant.

      Problem is too many Dems are trying to work with the elephant to reach a consensus.

          I know the expression. But an issue we run across a lot on the left is either being too accommodating to the opposition or trying to skip steps out of excitement.

          Mandami is stuck in an intersection of both issues. Establishment Dems are trying to work with the elephants, progressives want the meal to be finished, and Mandami is in the middle trying to keep peace with both sides by refusing to kill the elephant but still trying to eat it.
