The Sunrise Foundation could support Charles Booker in the primary without propping up and praising Mitich McConnell relative to Booker's primary opponent. This is like Walker Bragman's progressive case for Trump.
This is the danger of purity politics, helping the right out of your disdain for the moderates. And here's the thing, it is the moderates, the despised center who defend democracy. The extreme left and extreme right both are so impatient for their radical remaking of society
they would run roughshod over individual liberties and freedoms to get there. We kind of need the moderates around to temper extremism and keep civil society. We see what happens when extremists have power.
Even when the ends are good, if the means are foul, your politics are foul. The goal of the Sunrise Foundation is saving the planet, but they would destroy democracy to do it.
And bottom line, without the guardrails of democracy, people suffer.
And if that makes me a speciesist, so be it
