    You’re binarizing something that is definitely not binary; this is a far, far more complex system than that, and assuming it to be this simple is incredibly naive

    I’m just gonna keep repeating this to you: If you really consider yourself a leftist or a progressive then stop fighting leftists and progressives. Take all this energy and direct it towards moderates.

      “If you really care about the train barreling toward the people tied to the track, stop trying to slow down the train and direct your energy toward getting rid of the villain who ties people to the track.”

        Been waiting 20 years for people to fight the villain. You never do. You defend moderates with all your might and dish out lectures to leftists and progressives.

          You

          Ok buddy. You’re gonna need to find a more constructive way to vent your anger. I recommend therapy over letting the world burn.

            The world is burning and you’re a willing participant. You’re spending time lecturing me instead of the moderates who continue to elect pro-corporate, strike blocking, genocide supporting, climate killing candidates.

                Well I can see you’re in here lecturing leftists and progressives for being fed up. What else are you doing? Have you tried telling moderates they’d better start compromising with leftists and progressives or risk losing to fascists for a second time?

                  My action toward moderates is directed to the ones I know in real life, because that’s where they are. I don’t know any leftists or progressives in real life who are so shortsighted as to threaten to vote against Biden in the general.

                  But on here…well, I wouldn’t waste my time trying to convince people at a gaming convention to play games.
