Nope, it is pointing out the reason progressives consistently lose elections. They are willing to let their campaigns die on any hill. Even when winning is the only way to enact change.

Progressives (you included) don’t learn from this lesson no matter how many times voters teach it.

This is why the US government keeps moving right. Progressives would rather throw every election than do what it takes to stop genocide.

Ah yes, the old “stopping genocide by voting for parties that promise to commit genocide” tactic. Works every time!

Man listen to yourself.

Voting isn't enough for the genocide wing. They want a total absence of criticism for their genocide support.

Exactly. It’s so fucked up to see.
