just noticing a lot of very principle anti-genocidists very suddenly changing their focus, it is almost as if some pattern can be discerned through ignoring their statements and watching their behavior

    The time to demand more isn’t 4 months before the election. It’s not really the year of the election. The time to demand more is 10+ years before the election, supporting better candidates in smaller elections, rallying behind those candidates as they climb the ladder, and supporting those candidates right after the last election before the one you want them to win.

    But I don’t see that. I see no more than a slim minority doing any demanding until the last minute, when it does more harm than good.

      Progressive Democrats are primaried out by AIPAC funded pro genocide liberals and you put the blame on progressives.

      Liberals need to realize they’re not entitled to the left’s support without some effort and cooperation on their side.

      Your party are blue conservatives, clean up your own shit.

        I’m not a Liberal, they’re not my party. They are the party out of the two front runners which is more aligned with my interests than the other.

        The left needs to realize it’s not a matter of entitlement, it’s simple game theory harm reduction. The environment in which you pursue leftist goals will be predominantly colored by the winner in November. You can enable an environment which is unfavorable to leftist empowerment, or extremely unfavorable to leftist empowerment.

        Would you rather try to push progressive action under Biden, or Trump? I personally believe progressive action will be more successful under Biden than Trump, so I will be voting accordingly. Blue conservatives are better for leftists than red fascists.
