Moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives.

      Easy.

      “We like how things are and while we like some of what you offer and suggest you want it all or nothing which is too much of a shock so we’ll stick with what we know. But right now we’re literally trying to fight off a fascist Hitler wanna-be, how about we fucking discus this later?”

        suggest you want it all or nothing

        “Don’t block strikes and don’t support genocide.” is “all or nothing”?

        But right now we’re literally trying to fight off a fascist Hitler wanna-be, how about we fucking discus this later?”

        When? You didn’t want to discuss it at any point in the last four years.

              Considering Biden was on the picket line with the auto strikers, I disagree. Considering Biden is trying to shovel weapons to a Taiwan and to Ukraine, and yes unfortunately to Israel as well, he at least has criticized and made requests for ceasefires and hostage exchanges.

              Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Is there more they could do? 100% yes. Is it better than it was 4 years ago with what Orange? Hands down.

              Republicans would be 1000000x worse. And clearly you want that, over what the other side has done. Be honest with yourself and stop wasting our time.

                Oh by “discussion” you thought I meant you say what you think, get your way and the rest of us just shut up and deal with it? That isn’t what I meant. I hope I’ve clarified that for you. This right here is a discussion and it’s only happening because you need something from me. The moment you don’t need my vote you’ll go right back to the kinds of “discussions” you’re talking about.

                  You asked compromise. He did shit. He did a fuckton more than the other fuck did or will do.

                  Right now we are literally fighting off miniHitler. After that is done we can talk about what MORE they can do. And I personally will be demanding more.

                  Once the orange fuck is defeated.

                  Until then? Fuck off with the purity bullshit. You’re wasting my time, your time, and everyone else with a lick of sense in your quest to install Orange back into the White House.

                  Who, again, is WORSE and completely opposite to everything you stand for. But you’d clearly want that.

                    So once trump is gone you guys can continue to ignore us?

                    This is the battlefield and you want our help, but want to give nothing.

                    Just like you have for years, just like you did in 2020

                    He stood somewhere? That’s your example of “compromise”?

      The GOP is running out of cash saving the orange fascist from the results of his own actions. They’ll go bankrupt and then we’ll have a one party system where everyone will have to vote for whatever our party brass puts on the ballot for us.
