my hot take is that the president will matter pretty little if the left doesn't build up a base and start scalping more congressmen + winning in state/local elections. if getting someone good in the white house means gutting the grassroots movement then it isn't worth it, the Obama presidency proves that

progressive policies are already pushing lame third way collaborators out of office, just look at the FL Dem primary, where an honest to god progressive not only won in a landslide, but also just about doubled turnout the real risk isn't the left not continuing the surge, but rather the center running a spoiler candidate because they'd rather have baby death camps than pay 1% more tax on all income after their first million it's why whoever ends up carrying the flag for the left needs to also be a cutthroat motherfucker when they need to be #basta

Business Gorillas posted:It's the responsibility of candidates to inspire people to vote for them, not the other way around Allowing evil to happen when you have the ability to stop it is complacency in that evil. Allowing evil to happen because you want to use the possibility of that evil occurring as a bargaining chip is participation in that evil. Stopping people like Trump is a civic and moral responsibility. Now I'll agree strategically that inspiring people is the better path, but at the same time the only thing more repugnant than a Trump supporter is someone who refuses to oppose him because the alternative isn't giving them what they want. Trump supporters at least believe they're not evil, people doing this cynical bullshit are actively and intentionally causing evil and they know it's evil.
