motherfuckers actually suggesting to keep our cool when discussing racist trying to get us shot by cops or looking to try to do it themselves
Moderate Dems aren't allies.
Then you must have a pretty loose definition of the word "accurate". I want all the things PlayALLTheGames wanted. I just think his tantrum is off-putting in the same way a neckbeard telling me all the ways he is a nice guy is off-putting. You guys aren't playing to win. It's the same reason so many on the alt-left turned against Bernie and his supporters by constantly alleging both were sexist for campaigning against Hillary. When Bernie lost, those same voters said fuck this and stayed home. That, in no small part, helped Trump get elected.
The rationalization is "hey, we called you sexist for not supporting our candidate but it's better to be called sexist than let Trump win, right?" and those voters basically decided, "I don't care."
The Far-Left will never be satisfied no matter what. "I will still home instead of voting for HER". Okay, now you got Trump
I don't understand you people. All you got to do is VOTE Democrat straight ticket. Who gives a shit about nit picking stuff, just for D
We didn't stay home, not in any great numbers. I personally went and voted a straight Dem ticket, including Hillary for president. Trump is not on us. In fact, I think most of progressive Dems would have preferred to run a candidate with far-fewer scandals and far less baggage than Clinton, someone likeable and charismatic and with a history of strong progressive stances... don't put this shit at our feet.
And with this attitude, Republicans will likely hold on to Congress, and DJT will get reelected. Your purity quest does more damage than moderate Democrats.
Again, I'll vote a straight Dem ticket in 2018/2020, because I'm a grown adult who realizes that the lesser of two evils is still more desirable, even in my strong blue state. That doesn't mean that I'll sit down and shut up about how shitty moderates are when I encounter racism in my daily life, when my children encounter racism in their daily lives, and moderates are angry that we are calling them out on their lack of basic human empathy.
