          Point to where I defended Putin. Or is this one of those covert bot remarks with you trying to circumvent the bot rule?

      Try not to act surprised when you do nothing to elect leftist candidates locally and at the state level next year. Or any leftist candidates to the legislature at mid terms. And then in 4 years try not to act surprised that the POTUS candidates appeal to neoliberal, centrist and conservatives who have proven to engage with politics for decades and thus being an safe strategy to the white house.

      Pouting about it won’t endear people to your cause.

        The party protects anti-choice NRA stooge candidates like Cuellar, but refuses to protect incumbent progressives like Bowman and Bush.

          The party does. And feeble-minded armchair leftists cosplayers sit around bickering about whos the truest scotsman until 6 months before the next presidential election and act surprised that nobody wants to engage with their top-down approach to political revolution

            So the party does everything it can to lock out the left and you blame the left for not being able to start from the bottom.

              Is it surprising to you that those in power act to keep themselves in power? If it is surprising maybe it’s time to brush up on your theory. Das Kapital may be the seminal work on the topic, but as a California native i think Huey P Newton is more relevant to modern American life and better illustrates how bottom-up organization is more effective for creating actual change

                No. It shouldn’t have surprised me that centrists would blame the left for the actions of centrists to fuck them over, either.

        So by your own admission, you acknowledge that your entire party is neoliberal, centrist and conservative. They have become the dominant right-wing conservative party

                If you’re willing to overlook things like genocide so you don’t lose your privilege and position of status in society, it doesn’t appear that I’m the shallow one.

                    You fear losing the table scraps they toss you when theres a means to get the whole meal.

      You can’t go straight for the presidency with your ideals. You have to shift opinion from the bottom up. Meanwhile, we participate in a game of tug-of-war at the top levels.

        The general public opinion is there, but people feel trapped in a two-party system and they fear that if they were to vote outside of that two-party system they may lose the few table scraps that they currently get
