The lesson of 2016 wasn’t learned in 2024—and unless it changes by 2028, progressives risk handing away the future for a generation. Here’s how purism splinters the coalition and empowers the very forces it opposes:

And, the purism supporters also lose all of their rights along with the rest of us.

On the contrary, the DNC keeps courting the GOP-lite with their neocon candidates, thereby alienating those of us who want substantive change.

Here’s hoping you’re still satisfied with blaming your self-destructive voting decisions on the DNC whilst you and your family are wasting away in a forced labor camp. As for me, I’ll spend my time sharpening my shank for those ‘righteous’ voters who are responsible for putting me there.

And many of us do vote for these shitty candidates but many of the uninspired who can barely tell the difference between the two parties' platforms simply stay home.

And there’s that effing attitude that gave us Trump on full display… #ShittyCandidates = #PurityTest

If we go left we win. It is that simple. They are counting on independents to swing left this time. I wouldn't.

I can't believe there are still single issue idiots out there who say "I won't vote for him/her because of this.". Holy fuck. How can you be that dense?

And I might possibly hate this category of folks more than I do MAGA.

By the way, I worked with ChatGPT 5 for almost an hour to create this post on a subject that’s a pet peeve of mine. I’m embracing AI… 🤗

I've noticed that it's your new Bestie. I'm still not ready to take the plunge. I have to clean all of the old memes out of my phone before I ask it to do any more work.

Many don't 'get' that you should vote not for your 'favorite' candidate, but for the 'best' candidate. The best candidate must be capable of winning & also represent more of your policy positions than the alternative. Voting for someone who cannot win or staying home is throwing away your vote.

It’s odd to think progressives can be even more moronic than Magas in consistently voting/not voting in ways which are against their best interests.

EXACTLY, and just like MAGAts they refuse to budge an inch on their wrongheaded thinking.

Fucking up the achievement of the workable in their pursuit of the “perfect”, thereby ensuring the delivery of the shite. Difficult to know which group to hate most.
