“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    As per your question, I have no idea, I dont keep tabs on every vote, but I am very confident my assessment of the situation is correct.

    You can’t provide a single example because none exists. “Everybody” doesn’t have to accept tradeoffs. Centrist Democrats don’t. You’re expecting people to accept genocide based on an argument that has no basis in reality.

      Centrist Democrats right now don’t need to accept tradeoffs because they are needed atm. As demographics shift, eventually, things will change as they must.

      As for accepting genocide…well, if I had to choose between my own safety and someone else’s, I know where I’d stand…

        “Just accept genocide because the group that runs the party may one day in the nebulous future have to accept tradeoffs”

        is not the same as “Everybody has to accept tradeoffs.”

        As for accepting genocide…well, if I had to choose between my own safety and someone else’s, I know where I’d stand…

        You’ve made your position regarding instant unquestioning support of genocide for its own sake abundantly clear.

          I love the big sweeping generalizations you make; it really shows an utter lack of understanding reality. Keep up the purity tests so the left can’t ever get anywhere because we are too busy infighting I guess

            Keep expecting everyone to be happy with tradeoffs you make on their behalf but never your own.
