Well the fiscal conservatives have gotten real chummy with the open neo nazi militias so unless we figure out how to value coalition-building over purity tests, we’ll continue marching in this direction. The toothless dems need assertive leftists the same way the billionaires need workers. No army = no defense. The GOP wrote the playbook on dismantling democracy, then opened the floodgates to the world and gave them one more message to focus on: that the dems are just as bad.
unless we figure out how to value coalition-building over purity tests,
Let’s take it back to kindergarten.
You want to have the biggest bday party, so you invite everyone. Even lil Donnie, but the problem is lil Donnie likes to shit his pants and throw it at people.
So when the 20 other kids find out he’s going, they don’t attend. And it end ups up with you getting shit thrown at you all day.
If letting someone in results in more than one person leaving, it’s a net negative to the party.
The biggest criticism of the Dem party is that “both sides” have some shitty people. We get rid of our shitty politicians, and there goes the biggest reason people don’t vote.

This shit isn’t fucking complicated
Say that last line again, but the way people normally say it: “It really is that simple!”
