I think at max single digits

at the same time I’m looking to understand how online leftist think. so far it’s a lot of yelling past people and projecting. I’m not seeing a lot of calls to action or meaningful alternatives.

in the meantime I’ll continue to vote and donate what I can to causes that move the needle left. it’s a proven strategy so far.

How in the world do you figure voting and donating has moved the needle left.considering the needle has been swinging right the entire time any of us has been alive.

Vote for somebody, not against someone else.

If you can, vote, because not doing so encourages making voting for anyone at all harder.

No, listen, nobody's happy with the Lincoln Project. No one likes it. I certainly don't. But we have to work together and beat Trump by any means necessary, so you're going to have to nut up and give those old Republican shitheads all your money.

It's insane to me that online armchair leftists are fighting against pragmatic change and harm reduction.

Never trump republicans are better than trump, we have to vote for them.

I think we need to expand our thinking out of blue team red team thinking.

If you live in a red ocean, you can do your part by registering for the republican party and voting in their primaries to choose the lesser of two evil candidates. It is your duty to pick the least evil republican or else you are actively harming bipoc and lgbtq folx.

Well, if we follow that logic, then if you live in a blue state you need to join the Republicans so you can vote for the most likely to succeed Republican so you force the Democrats to run better candidates.

Looks like no matter your goal, the right action is to vote Republican. Well, I'm glad we solved politics.

there’s a difference in voting strategically nationally and donating to a bunch of former W ghouls

“voting strategically,” that famous winning strategy of the lib-Dems. lol loving Christ.

“useful ghoul” for loving what, exactly. dragging the Democrats to the right is all they’ve done.

hard disagree, they can attack trump in a way that democrats would fail too, if we can push neocons into the democratic party, that's a win for the left.

Even the people we disagree with can see the light of our pragmaticism. We need a competent office to act as a footstool for real progressive change. Though we may be voting for different reasons, it's clear how effective the law and order messaging of the biden campaign is. Online leftists would balk at this, their obsession with purity politics blinds them to the fundamental fact that this is good news for america!

Knowing I stand shoulder to shoulder with such political giants such as john kasich, anthony scaramucci, and colin powell I fully understand that my vote is a seed that will prosper into a strong flower of progressivism that could do amazing things such as be used as a decoration for a child's coffin.
