    Progressives don’t want the fascists to win, they want you to listen to us. If the threat of fascists winning is not enough, then you were never going to be on our side.

    The only people who have taken their ball and went home are the moderate neoliberals like yourself.

    Give us some genuine halfway compromise, and you will have loyal progressive voters. The stakes are simply too high for you to not compromise. We bailed you out in 2020 and you owe us a favor.

    So let’s see who blinks first.

      Yeah, looking down through the comments by self-proclaimed leftists in this community, it seems like a great many of them are eager for the fascists to win to ‘show’ the Democrats what for. Fuck them minorities who’ll suffer or die.

      So let’s see who blinks first.

      Oh, fucking wonderful. I love it when genocide is used as the stakes in a game of dumb fucking machismo between two political factions who want to show off that THEY have the biggest balls in the room.

      Goddammit.

      If the threat of fascists winning is not enough, then you were never going to be on our side.

      Okay, before we go further - is the reverse here true? If the threat of fascists winning is not enough for progressives to side with liberals, were progressives never going to be on the liberals’ side? Is that where we’re at?

        You know, if you truly believe that, then you would want Biden to blink right now. Again, you want us to blink, not the moderates, and you act like that is a completely unbiased opinion.

        Also, to your last point, we have compromised with the Neo-Liberals. We voted for Biden last election. That was the compromise. We were expecting to be rewarded for it. He talked a big game about universal healthcare.

        Turns out he lied to us. Oh, but that’s okay in your book. You can’t repeatedly crap on the people that you need to vote for you and expect anything different.

          Oh, okay, you were expecting a reward and didn’t get one, that definitely warrants getting as many minorities murdered as you can. Mea culpa, you really were the most moral individual in the room.

            You are not even addressing the concern at hand. Democrats are not compromising with progressives, and if they lose, that is on them.

            I understand you’re frustrated that you can’t control what another person does, and you are scared, understandably, of a right-wing overthrow of the government. I am, too. I have been since Donald Trump was elected the first time. Heck, even years prior, I saw where the Republican Party was going, and Democrats at the time did nothing to stop it, then, and they hadn’t done anything to stop it during the Trump administration, and they won’t stop it now.

            I’ve been scared my entire adult life, and I’m sick and tired of nobody doing anything to stop it. Democrats better wise up fast, or they are going to lose, and it’s going to be their fault. And partially, frankly, your fault for not holding them to a higher standard.

              Apparently not scared enough, since your current opinion is “Well, it’s bad, but not as bad as letting the mean Democrats get away with [checks notes] appealing to the majority of the electorate”.

              Those of us who are actually at risk, and understand that? A bit more enthusiastic about ‘politics as usual’ compared to a literal fucking fascist who already tried an autocoup to prevent anyone not a white conservative twat to ever influence government again.

              I’ve been scared my entire adult life, and I’m sick and tired of nobody doing anything to stop it. Democrats better wise up fast, or they are going to lose, and it’s going to be their fault. And partially, frankly, your fault for not holding them to a higher standard.

              But not your fault, for deciding that you hate the status quo of “American minorities not being genocided” so much that you stepped aside and let the fascists genocide aaaaaall the minorities they want to.
