Speaking as one, we Progressives & Leftists need to ditch this purity-level mentality - it’s self-defeating.

This is in part how the right has managed to shift the Overton window so far towards their side since the 2000’s. It’s about damned time we co-opt such successful tactics in order to bring some sanity back.
Sure. If you’re delusional in thinking that the American government will ever operate again as it once did.
Liberals still trying to reach across the aisle as we stare a dictator and fascism in the face. So ready to work with a racist grifter that will say anything to keep her career alive. But decades of “how will we afford that?” or “you have to be realistic and compromise with the people that want to murder immigrants”
That ship has sailed mate. The legislative body has become exactly at Republicans wanted it to be. Useless. And if you haven’t realized that you are not “the left”. You’re the liberal that can’t come to terms with a reality the left has been warning you about for over 8 years.

However, I did say if someone from the other side - even a gremlin like MTG - supports your existing position and they are the one reaching across the aisle, only a petulant, short-sighted fool would leave them hanging.

There’s no strategy even needed. A vote is a vote. Who cares who votes?
She’s an attention removed seeking relevance. She will never willingly help Democrats. That’s as obvious as the sun rising tomorrow.
e: interesting censorship. lol
Is the removed word the 2nd letter of the alphabet, followed by something you scratch?
Or is it the Australian term of endearment?
lol. Yeah, I was describing that aussie term of endearment with a phrase that rhymes with attention chore
Wait, that’s not the Aussie term of endearment. That’s the C-word.
