    Progressives will continue to lose until they give up their morals and descend into the muck of incompetence and greed like us fine fellows, and take the big money dick that is being offered. You’d be stupid to try any other way of winning.

    I am very smart.

      Progressives will continue to lose because they think they don’t need to work with ideologies other than their own in a country where progressives are a small fraction of the population.

      ‘Don’t try to appeal to moderate voters! Why can’t we win elections?!’

      ‘Don’t compromise with republicans to get the votes needed to pass legislation! Why can’t we get legislation passed?!’

      ‘Is is us progressives that are to blame for our lack of progress? No it is the voters that are wrong!’

      ‘We are very smart’

        If the strategy of compromising with the right, appealing to moderate voters, and sucking up to corporate donors is so effective, why did it fail miserably at stopping the fall to fascism? Are you of the same mind as the Democratic leadership, that Kamala Harris ran a perfect campaign?

        You’re making the same mistake that right-wingers make, blaming the powerless for the actions of the powerful.
