    Its not a false dichotomy when it is what happened. The rest of your points aren’t’ worth responding to because they are projection and not arguments I’ve made.

    You have a choice and it seems like you’ve made it. You’ve decided to sacrifice the ability to win elections because you’ve convinced yourself that the only thing you’ve tried, the route that lost 2024, is the only route available to you.

    You don’t actually have other options. You truly and faithfully only have two: you can do things the way you’ve done them before; or you can do them some other way.

    The DNC tried your approach in 2016. It gave us Trump. They shifted in 2020 and took a big tent approach, where the candidate changed their policies and courted the voters to grow their constituency. It worked, they won. They tried your approach in 2024 again, it failed, we got Trump.

    You want voters to be different than they are. The data we have shows your approach to electoralism doesn’t work. We’ve got the reciepts. Negative 6 million votes. Thats what your approach is worth. We will continue to lose elections to republicans if we continue to rely on your approach to this matter.

    YOU are the one who needs to be honest with themselves. If you goal isn’t to win the election, what is it that I can infer you are even doing here? You want to pretend you’ve got some kind of moral or academic high ground when you are the very reason that all of the aforementioned groups are under threat.
