    You are not even addressing the concern at hand. Democrats are not compromising with progressives, and if they lose, that is on them.

    I understand you’re frustrated that you can’t control what another person does, and you are scared, understandably, of a right-wing overthrow of the government. I am, too. I have been since Donald Trump was elected the first time. Heck, even years prior, I saw where the Republican Party was going, and Democrats at the time did nothing to stop it, then, and they hadn’t done anything to stop it during the Trump administration, and they won’t stop it now.

    I’ve been scared my entire adult life, and I’m sick and tired of nobody doing anything to stop it. Democrats better wise up fast, or they are going to lose, and it’s going to be their fault. And partially, frankly, your fault for not holding them to a higher standard.

      Apparently not scared enough, since your current opinion is “Well, it’s bad, but not as bad as letting the mean Democrats get away with [checks notes] appealing to the majority of the electorate”.

      Those of us who are actually at risk, and understand that? A bit more enthusiastic about ‘politics as usual’ compared to a literal fucking fascist who already tried an autocoup to prevent anyone not a white conservative twat to ever influence government again.

      But not your fault, for deciding that you hate the status quo of “American minorities not being genocided” so much that you stepped aside and let the fascists genocide aaaaaall the minorities they want to.
