Observation: Democratic leaders are openly abandoning the "vote blue no matter who" standard when a leftist manages to win a major primary.
Your response: "when a centrist wins, remember to vote blue no matter who!'
In an ideal world, I would pick a progressive 10/10 times.
However we don't live in an ideal world. If your options are warm, stale beer or a steaming cup of shit, I'm going to pick the better option, every time. I'll push for more ideal options the next go around, but I won't sink the ship and damn me and everyone to having to deal with shit the next 4 years because I didn't get what I want.
I wish there was a warm, stale beer option. I saw a steaming cup of shit, and a steaming cup of piss with a pride-flag on the side. Is one better than the other? sure, but lets stop pretending either was a remotely acceptable option.
