personally i dont see what point there is in immediately assuming that signs of support from moderates are insincere and cynical, because that immediately sabotages your ability to accomplish anything, even by the narrow standards of working within the political establishment

Agreed, because he's a politician and knows which side his bread is buttered on. But as soon as any whiff of actually progressivism that could have a tiny chance of possibly impacting the bottom line of his corporate sponsors hits the scene, watch how fast the knives come out. paranoid randroid posted:personally i dont see what point there is in immediately assuming that signs of support from moderates are insincere and cynical, because that immediately sabotages your ability to accomplish anything, even by the narrow standards of working within the political establishment is there some reason I can't see them as insincere parasites and yet still say that we should work with them?

There's a lot of truth to the bolded part. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of rabid racist paranoid delusional hatred on the left, like there was and is on the right that created the current political climate. Your base has to be absolutely scared shitless and desperate to accomplish the sort of wave election that elected Trump and that sort of desperation just doesn't exist on the left; mainly because most people just don't understand how modern politics affects their lives. Trump's policies are going to have to actually hurt a lot of people before they are going to be convinced to become active.
