yeah the spineless cynicism on the #left is nothing but premature capitulation to malice
combined with #purityPolitics and #toxicIdealism, it's self-destruction
you need to fight
always
you need to be positive
always
and you need to accept better rather than whining about not getting perfect
always
We have to stop looking for the perfect candidate, ally, or tactic. With respects to Voltaire, perfect is the enemy of the possible.

Meanwhile:
"If Trump and the Republicans prevail in November, on one will be better off. No one.
Not Gazans or Palestinians or Muslims. Not people of color or Jews. Not women or LGBTQ people or immigrants or the poor or sick or hungry. Humanity will be universally endangered. There is no win here for anyone but the bigots and book banners and the Nazi sympathizers."
Americans in general have little sense of solidarity; this is especially true of the left in the US.
John Pavlovitz hits the nail on the head regarding how fatuous "progressives" in the US continuously snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and serve the ends of the hard right as we tear away at each other and refuse solidarity with each other on the basis of ridiculous dogmatic purity politics.
Spend only a day on social media and you see this over and over and over again. We do not learn and don't want to learn.
