Ya know… I used to be this binary in my thinking. For example, I naively opposed harm reduction measures, such as needle exchanges and safe injection sites. Aaaaand I’d like to congratulate drugs for winning the War on Drugs.

Yes, we need to fight for a better world, better candidates, and better leadership in all things. But JFC, stop fighting last year’s fight.

I too want 100% progressive governance. Just a little bit of history and psychology reading demonstrates what you’re doing right here, along with the intractability, is categorically NOT how we get there. Just like the Overton Window slowly shifted since the 70s to the fascist US shitshow we have today, we need to work to shift the window back.

I understand the sentiment. I agree with the justified contempt for the DNC and Democratic Party. Let’s light a candle rather than curse the darkness.
