Did you think I was disagreeing with you in some way? My reply was to a different comment. I agree with pretty much everything you just said. Well, maybe reforming the voting system before trying a doomed effort to switch “the left” to a progressive third party for the next few years, under a FPTP system… but other than that, yes.
In fairness, there are quite a lot of people saying that, who have poisoned the well.
I get your frustration. I don’t even like the Democrats, and I am constantly accused of all kinds of sins against leftism, just because I keep pointing out that not voting for them, in the current political climate, will make things 10 times worse.
I’m interested to note that the top-level narrative of the first few comments has coalesced exactly as I predicted it would. If you go back and sort by “top,” you’ll see what the actual consensus is… and yet, somehow there’s an opposite consensus that things reliably coalesce into after a while, when the comments settle down.

Sorry I’m just so used to people trying to characterize my views on the Democrats as “Both Sides” or “Stay Home”.
