    The lack of nuance here, and inability to compromise, is what kills leftism every fucking time.

    But I guess it’s fine because you get to tell everyone that you stand up for what you believe in.

      I stand up for elections that are accurate and fair. If you look at my bio it’s my central belief in what needs to be done in American politics.

      I cannot progress any leftest beliefs without accurate elections. So I’m ok if fair elections promote things I dislike very much. But they must be accurately counted.

      I think I would respect many democrats more if they shared the same belief; but over the last few years I have become convinced that to be a card carrying Democratic Party member, one must be willing to turn a blind eye to how this country is not very democratic.

      So yes, while democrats are better in many ways than republicans, both are harmful
