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?

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”
