A very poor way of reacting to an emergency is to take the other people under threat hostage, and insist that everyone do what YOU want, or you won't help fix the problem. This is rightfully understood as callous, destructive, anti-social behavior. Don't encourage the left to engage in it.

This site will never admit that the left is way over its skis here, because you cannot be Cool On Bluesky and ever offer an iota of criticism of the left. But the normies who make up the vast majority of Dem voters will have absolutely zero patience for this nonsense. It will not end how you think.

Some of the most powerful forces in politics are shame, mockery, ostracization. If you are not MAGA and you're considering sitting coming elections out because Dems didn't meet your exact demands, you should experience these things. You should be publicly derided as the dolt you are.

I'm sorry, but this is obfuscation. The reality is simple.
Trump and his adherents are fascist white supremacists aiming to destroy every good thing in America.
If you look at a choice between them and a Democrat - any Democrat - and go "eh, not left enough, I'll pass" you are a child and a fool.

I've seen a bunch of this online, mostly from people less credible than Stancil. I've been a union organizer for almost 30 years and worked on every election in that time period. (I also voted for Harris and protested the genocide.) Posts like this fail to grasp 3 universal truths about elections.
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand
it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

Online leftists need to start promoting the candidates they actually want to run in 2028 instead of bitching about Newsom every two seconds.
Also, real talk, your average Joe doesn’t give a shit about his stupid podcast or his thoughts on trans people. Not saying it’s right, it’s just the reality.

This is on voters too, if you want a better candidate in the general then you gotta vote and push your candidate during the primary. That's what decides who goes onto the general.

It drives me nuts that when a candidate loses the general it's all "they should have ran a better campaign" but when a progressive loses a primary it's just the DNC's fault.
