    Absolutely, but I will not keep falling in line for candidates that would rather lose than listen to me and publicly and emphatically support the very reasonable policies I want.

    At a certain point my vote is earned, it has to be or else I will be ignored.

      I think you are missing the meaning of “compromise”. You need to vote for the candidate that will best represent you… And part of the best representation equation is being able to win the election.

        No, the Democratic Party is selectively missing the meaning of “compromise” only when it comes to shutting down progressives, they are happy as hell to hand power to conservatives.

        I know what compromise looks like and I reward it when I see it.

          … I will not keep falling in line for candidates that would rather lose than listen to me…

          I rest my case.

            These people are seriously delusional.

            Like they are literally openly admitting that they acknowledge they’re willing to blow their legs off for a chance at offending the rich people at the DNC who will be insulated from all the results.

            Its like a teenager who goes out doing dangerous behaviour to be rebellious against their parents.

        Oh! I guess if being able to win an election is part of the compromise maybe all the non voters for Hillary and Kamala were right.

          Do you not feel the irony of calling that out when the winner of both of those elections was trump?

          To use a phrase… If I had a nickel for every time we’ve elected orange Hitler, I’d have two nickles, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
