A lot depends on who's talking--needless to say, "the left" can refer to a whole bunch of people with different viewpoints. Some people will say "we'll walk and you'll lose" and really mean it. As for me, I'll always opt to vote against fascism--given the chance, that is.

"a fractured thoracic vertebrae" makes no sense. "Vertebra" is singular; "vertebrae" is plural. Oh--and in addition, nothing else in this statement makes any sense at all.
