That’s not what I was asking. Would Cool Water prefer Warm Pepsi or Hammers to have the plurality?
This is just "drink your warm pepsi or you get the hammer" phrased as a question.
Because the whole point of my explanation
The only point of your condescending centrist-splaining is to gloat that your shitty wing of the party is taking advantage of a situation in which the only alternative to their constant betrayal is worse than they are.
Grew up in tornado alley. We did the same drills for tornadoes. Then the one day we were at school for a tornado watch, they closed early, called our folks to come pick us up and had us wait outside for them.
Your entire explanation is predicated on the belief that the Warm Pepsi party doesn't prefer watching everyone get their faces smashed in by hammers to working with the Cool Water party in any capacity.
But that level of unity seems impossible for many of the progressive factions I see. They’re fed up with compromise, and I get it. I just don’t think a lasting improvement will happen without it.
Do you think that compromise is what the party has been doing with progressives?
Do you think that compromise is what they have been doing with republicans?
They refuse to compromise with the left. They capitulate to the right and call it compromise.
Democrats need to treat the left like constituents. They need to treat the left better than they do the nazis that want to murder us all in camps. They have refused to do so for decades and it's really starting to look like they want the same future the nazis want.
democrats successfully argued in court that they don't have to run honest primaries. They eschewed the primary process entirely for president in 2024, like they had been itching to do since Obama beat clinton in '08.
progressives are absolutely right to not trust the party's primaries.
I mean, if democrats don't start trying to appeal to voters, that is what will happen. And you will blame the electorate you have been treating with withering contempt for decades like you do every time you lose.
