How many of the people that are advocating to vote for the likes of Jill Stein - of those that are not just Russian bots/agents and are people even acting in good faith, that is - do you think are reachable? People that seem to take their cues from the likes of Susan Sarandon don’t strike me as a market segment that will be convinced by anything.
People playing the “more leftist than thou” game don’t seem all that serious to me. And calling them purity ponies is hardly a harsh criticism, it perfectly embodies their behaviors and emotional hysterias - if they don’t get their way, 100%, they are willing to put the entire world in jeopardy.
I find it so interesting that the party that keeps abandoning its stated principles so that GOP-senpai will notice them refuses to treat people in their own caucus like they need their votes.

Does that strike you as rational?
I didn’t say it was harsh. I said it was infantile.
Rational or not, if you need their votes, you need their votes.
I don’t think it’s infantile to describe the behavior in precise terms.
