Me ignoring Nazis until the exact right time.

What really pisses me off about this framing, which always seems to describe a desire to address the actual fight we face with magical thinking, and their perspective with clear minded adult realism, is that the moderate road they prescribe is the exact road that led us here.

We have been doing the moderate triangulation, the tepid try not to talk about the racism too much to avoid pissing off the “hard-working” Americans from the “heartland,” the practical third way, for my whole life. It led HERE.

Acting as if we haven’t done it your way all along in order to prescribe that we continue to do it your way for another cycle, amazing.

Actually addressing the cultural wars of the Republicans are absolutely not going to stop throwing out us won’t get us a senate seat in Arkansas?

Your way lost us to governorship in Virginia.

Let’s at least fight the fight before us.

There are people for whom these matters are literally life and death and they don’t get to take time out.

I for one refuse to abandon them just because a bunch of wonks have decided to listen to our consent manufacturing complex and deem them strategically inconvenient.
