I’m really not sure why you won’t answer the very simple question - why is the only course of action that you think is unreasonable the democrats running real candidates?

Because it's a bad faith question. Observe:

Why do you eat babies?

What point are you making about FDR? You brought him up as an example of a real democrat - sure - but that was almost a century ago.

Because you said people like him have never existed. I mentioned he did. Now you say you knew all about him the whole time.

So go argue with Terrorphin@thelemmy.club, because they disagreed with you about FDR's existence a mere two comments ago.

Either you have significant cognitive impairments or the substance of our argument is less important than you doing mental gymnastics in service of a propaganda win.

Whichever it is, I don't think it's a good use of my time to read and respond to you any more. Any reader that feels like wasting their time reading what you're saying can see you're participating in bad faith and come to their own conclusions.

It's not a bad faith question. You yourself said that the democratic party is like a restaurant that only serves sand. Why is it that the only thing that it's unreasonable to do in the fight against fascism is demand that the democrats run candidates worth voting for? It's a fair question. I don't eat babies. It's not remotely comparable - we both agree that the democratic party is serving sand. There's no dispute on the facts. I did not say that people like him never existed in history. My point was that he has not been on the ballot for a century. I was clearly talking about the contemporary democratic party - not ancient history.
