    AFAIU the Spanish civil war was lost to fascists because the opposition couldn’t unite.

    It’s not the responsibility of any one faction to avoid infighting but it is everyone’s responsibility to find common ground.

    History rhymes.

      exactly so while half of one faction already said “fuck it i’m with you” and the other half undecided, it would be very dumb of the other faction to not even move an inch or try to find a common ground, instead stomping their feet and saying “but i want vote now!!!”. that isn’t good for coalition building as far as i know.
