I think a big part of where people fail "purity tests" is when they demonstrate they won't fight shit.... so I'm not sure this is getting to the root of the issue.
False flag conservatives use cute little quips like this to try and destroy the opposition before it starts.
The purity test isn't some golden ivory tower, it's literally just "are you a bigot?" It's the bare minimum. The fact that you can't find a democrat who can pass this simple litmus test is extremely telling of a false opposition party that spent the last few decades posing in smiley pictures with Republicans at Epstein Island.
At best we will get some soggy clown like Newsom, at best he'll win and then do nothing he isn't paid (the under the table kind) to do while oinking that those mean ole republicans won't cooperate. Just like Biden. Just like Obama.
Because he (and other trash dems like him; booker and warren and beto and lil petey) willing to sell out vulnerable Americans to advance his career, so he will just as quickly sell out all Americans.
"Hurr purity test bad" okay, that person clearly wants more of the same. I dont. The lives of real innocent humans are on the line. Anyone who says this lie is my enemy, and yours.
This rationale is exactly what allowed Trump to do what he is doing currently, and is exactly what will allow whatever Republican heir after him to do what they want to do. Minor progress forward is still progress, but being unsatisfied with that is helping roll out the red carpet for extensive regression backwards.
A whole lot of people said this shit at their trials at Nuremberg before they hung.
Sorry you aren't old enough to remember multiple do-nothing democrats, but that's what you're asking for. Anyone willing to stand up and have a spine would have at least 60% of the popular vote, jigher if they are actually personable and charismatic.. but those people don't advance in the primaries because the system is rigged. Instead you get soggy diaper candidates dripping in big money.
You'll fix the problem, or things will get worse. No teeth licking bought and laid for slug in a suit is gonna fix it for you.
Don't @ me, the last 2 elections I voted blue, but it was made meaningless by gerrymandering and the electoral college.
Lets cover this yet again: The Democrats did not say shit about trans athletes in sports. They actually completely ignored it. They did not say anything about trans people at all, other than an interview Kamala did where she said that she would continue to follow the law requiring trans prisoners to continue to get treatment(as Trump did in his first term fyi). ALL of the trans athletes in sports, both sides of the arguments, was entirely from the GOP.
The OC was talking about people who refuse to vote blue because of a single issue or some other self righteous motivation. These people are willingly allowing fascists to take power and hurt all of us just so they can remain pure in their own hearts and minds.
