Yeah purity testing has burned so many bridges unnecessarily.
It’s one thing to hold yourself to a standard, it’s another to repeatedly alienate yourself because nobody is pure enough to measure up.
The American left has been ineffectual because it’s as interested in fighting itself as it is fighting conservatives.
Undecided/uninformed voters see the difference between the parties as: endless pissing contest vs proud ignorance. At least the ignorant are having fun and getting shit done.
Until the culture stops prioritizing smuggies over who’s the best leftist and starts prioritizing meaningful action we’re just going to keep losing.
We need to start treating politics as a popularity contest and not like a reddit comments pissing contest.
