  • it’s easier to fight a 20% evil guy than a 100% evil guy.

    I wish this were true, but it isn’t.

    If anything we lost ground on progressive representatives in 2022 and 2024. In 2026 some progressives are winning primaries again like they did in the 2018 cycle (and to a lesser extent in the 2020 cycle).

    Biden didn’t pass or really even fight for the PRO act, he said he would veto medicare for all, he let Joe Manchin slice Build Back Better to barely a shadow of what it was supposed to be – which was already a cut from what we need which is the Green New Deal.

    Outside of electoralism, we continued to lose ground in terms of unionization rates in the Biden years. Membership in DSA and other socailist/left-wing civil organizations were going down. On the ground organizing is going better under Trump than under Biden.

    When evil hid its face somewhat the liberals went back to brunch and the evil was able to grow more slowly in the shadows, until the liberals were put in the position where they had to suppprt genocide because that was the lesser evil.

    I get this isn’t anything anyone wants to hear. But tell me why any of it is wrong.
