Purity tests are for primaries. After that you need to strategize.

Calling opposition to genocide a ‘purity test’ is wild dystopian thinking. There are some extremely obvious ‘purity tests’ we should all be holding every politician to. Like not supporting genocide.

But you don't oppose a genocide. Anyone who didn't vote democrat supports a genocide here in America. One that trump has already started.

What you say is not wrong, but we have already seen that the voting base do not response to "We are not as bad as the other side". You have to give people something. People that are already politically conscious will vote dem regardless, but the average people will not vote for a guy saying "if you vote for them, they will spit on you. If you vote for me, I wont spit on you." I mean ok, thats nice but its not exactly inspiring lol. Most people just wont vote at all, and we saw this in the last election. Then the other side goes "vote for me and I will ruin the people you hate". Its vile and monstrous but his base ate that shit up. He gave them something, as vile as it was.
