        Or, and this might be completely revolutionary towards your thinking…

        Maybe how you approach politics is harmful and supports rightwing movements.

          I feel like “vote for the prevention of the accession of fascists” should resonate with more people than “let the fascists win to teach the DNC a lesson” did.

            But what you feel doesn’t matter, because we took the data on this, and the exact approach you outline led directly to fascists getting elected.

              Sure, man. Voting for Kamala somehow equaled a vote for Trump. Not sure how that tracks but if you say so. 👍

            Democrats are right-wing, liberalism is right wing. If we overlaid the political scale from 1980 and today, Democrats would be to the far right of Reagan.

            a political moderate who supports democrats not right wingers.

            Oh! Like how Chuck Schumer makes is able to make the claim of being a political moderate! While dogwalking Democrats to break with the party to protect the filibuster.

            Of course. This is soooooo supportive of Democratic policy positions.
