    Classic thread. People have jumped from putting words in my mouth to tell me those words are wrong to pre-emptively doing it. I guess Lemmy suffers from the same weekend awfulness of other sites.

    What would appease you? You can view my comment history and scroll past many left posts. Maybe you’ll find something in there that fits your narrative? Would you like me to post a Political Compass, PEW Political Topology, or some other test? A note from my doctor?

    Or is it simply, “hey, this guy who openly acknowledged our system is outdated and bad is trying to explain how coalitions work within it- what a [insert othering words of choice]” and that’s where we live now?

      Stop demanding what amounts to unquestioning fealty to the genocide wing of the party. That’s what you can do.

      Funny how the coalition you tout only moves right.

        Probably because there is this widespread view on the left that is a combination of not understanding how our government/elections work and not understanding political coalitions as demonstrated by this thread. That and thinking that showing up once a year (let’s be real, once every 4 years) to make a token gesture without doing the 364 days of fighting is enough. Hard to get what you want without participating and/or even understanding the situation.
