    Nice diversion. I answered your question about Democrats demanding lockstep behind even their shittiest anti-worker candidates.

      I never asked you a question.

      Because the alternative is fascists, you dunce. You can’t move the needle left if there’s no needle. Vote blue no matter who has to do with not letting fascists take away our rights and kill women who need abortions.

      It’s not Democrats asking you to vote blue no matter who, it’s your fellow Americans who don’t want a fascist takeover. It’s common sense that shouldn’t even need a slogan.

        You don’t move the needle by being content, either. Which is why centrists are so fucking angry at people who aren’t pleased as fucking punch at all the deliberate failure of the second worst party.

          That’s why I wrote this

          Then you harass that blue candidate

          We have three powers of control over politicians

          • vote

          • protest

          • media

          That’s why they work so hard to take away, delegitimize or sow distrust in those powers. You want to move the needle left, you vote as left as possible and protest and harass them until they do what you want.

            And that’s exactly what I do. You have a problem with it.

                If you don’t have a problem with it, quit bothering me about it.

                Your problem seems to be that I’m criticising Democrats for blocking progressive legislation.
