I agree and disagree.
There will always be a left right pull and a need for that pull. Our current lefty parties are lost and need to be punished into moving back to sanity. Sadly (and I agree with you that most dont want to hear this) it seems they won't /1

/2 make the change without pressure. For most of our parties and elected officials, that means loss of elections and loss of their specific seats. For many reasons, some of us don't want to punish them because it hurts other causes we care about. For others of us, this lie
/3 beats out all other issues.
I am a dissaffected leftist but I also need the left. I am disabled and I need social programs and care that conservatives WILL cut. My situation is dire, to be honest. But I won't be bribed into voting for my parties while they promote this lie.

/4. I tweet #takebacktheleft to push people to tell their left leaning friends who don't want to lose elections that they WILL lose. And they WILL lose because of pronouns, female erasure, and promoting the lie. Most will not yet take that seriously. But I am planting a seed
/5 the grassroots lefties who want to win elections and who want to "beat the tories" and who want to beat republicans need to know-when their party loses an important contest- that they could have won if they dropped this shit. People will ignore it as long as they can and then
/6 one day there will be a peak awakening. There will be a "WTF are we doing."
Make no mistake, I know it will take lost elections and great costs before that happens, but I work to plant the seed now. And to encourage the pushback now so that the correction starts sooner rather

/7 than later.
Either way, it never hurts to push people to take back their parties from the insanity. Whether one beleives it can/will be accomplished, the conversation is never useless. We will either correct ourselves or fail. We will not be able to win and "reform" from

/8 within the party. As long as the parties are rewarded with votes and jobs, they won't reform. Those who want to pretend that they can reform the party while rewarding them for the lie are fooling themselves. It's a heartbreaking way to do things

/9 I will continue to try to push to make people take back our parties. I can hope for change, but I won't be naive enough to pretend that that change will come while supporting them. I won't reward them and vote for them first, hoping reform later. Demand change now
/10 People don't want to hear it because it's a terrible choice. Sadly, our parties know that-and they count on us supporting them because we fear the other side. That fear is justified, but but the choice is still a No from me, because a YES allows them to refuse to change.
