That’s fine. But having organized around those positions for a while, most people don’t support the entire platform. OP’s purity politics attitude isn’t going to make people embrace progressive positions
Yeah, there's value in being strategic. But I feel like the regular insistence on retreating from our values in itself makes the party/movement look bad and kills morale.
I've heard that from regular lib relatives as much as I have more hardened progressives.
100% agree w being strategic. Most people aren’t thinking about issues that don’t directly impact their lives—those issues don’t immediately resonate. It takes time & trust to get alignment; figuring out which of those values and demands to lead with is key. Demanding 100% compliance hasn’t worked
