Moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives.

    You just sailed over the point where moderates fight us and it’s considered fair game. We fight moderates and they have a meltdown. Moderates are relying on leftist and progressives to win general elections while fucking them over at every opportunity.

    Surely you can see the foolishness of that strategy yes?

      And yet it’s irrelevant. I have no reason to engage that point, because people immediately being horribly hurt by looming electoral consequences supersedes the importance of long-term systemic change.

      Nobody disagrees that systemic change is needed, but it is not the most important or immediate problem.
