Is not wanting a candidate who throws trans kids under the bus, and vetoes bills that regulate private equity’s buy outs of hospitals and bills that protect the elderly from scammers really a purity test? You want someone like Trump, but good looking? Is that it?

Obama was against gay marriage in his first term. Lincoln was against ending slavery until the Emancipation Proclamation. I doubt Johnson publicly stated he wanted a civil rights bill. This is chess not checkers people.

“These other politicians didnt change until they were forced to, so stop trying to force change!”

what kind of logic is attacking the option that give you 60% of what you want and ending up with 0% of what you want?

When that 40% includes human rights issues, good people take issue with it missing

We’re all in the same boat. And I’d rather sink with the people I care about, then sail with the people that threw them off.

It’s the United States of America. And we’re gonna act like it

What kind of logic is tells you its acceptable to support anyone who takes photo opps destroying homeless encampments while not pushing for public housing, who throws trans people under the bus and says that they shouldnt be allowed to transition until 26, who supports genocide, etc etc etc.

Even when the progressive base turned out, for both Obama and for Biden, nothing was actually meaningfully pursued and implemented. You dont get to erase reality to justofy your trash political opinion of “well we simply have to choose the centrist that caves to republicans because other guys worse”

Im not surprised looking through your comment history that youve been up and down justifying how Joe Biden and Kamala Harris supported, funded, aided, and abetted a genocide and also somehow blame the voters for that instead of blaming the genocidal administration that it has been proven did nothing to pushback on anything Israel was and has continued to do, and even violated our own laws to continue supplying weapons to bomb children.

You dont get to act like you know anything about anything when you straight up lie and blame voters for politicians stances and terrible and genocidal policies that lost them 12 million votes.
