You’re like the partner who, when their partner is in a fight, keeps grabbing their arm and saying STOP STOP STOP FIGHTING IS WRONG and ensuring that they’ll get the shit kicked out of them.

No that's how moderates treat leftists. Leftists actually have ideas that would take the wind out of the sails of the Republican party. Moderates say "No! Stop it! That's too radical!" and elect a pro-corporate trash candidate in the primaries.

I feel like I just asked you this: Are you under the impression that I somehow have the ability to choose who wins the primaries?

I have one vote and you have one vote. My ability to affect the primaries is equal to yours. There are systems of media that conspire to make it tough for a person other than pro-corporate trash to win the primaries, but why are you talking to me like that's my fault? And why are you saying that if the wrong person wins, then staying home to put in office an even worse person is going to help solve the problem?
