    If that’s what it takes to win then they should fucking do it, assuming democrats even want to win.

      I don’t really care what the Democratic leadership want, or even say they want. If they’re not prepared to stand up to Trump, then I’ll support others who are willing. If you’re in a pre-revolutionary situation, does it make sense to try coalescing the resistance around a failed controlled opposition?

        Agreed. To compare this to other current political events, it’s like they’re arguing that Palestinians need to continue to back Hamas “no matter what” if they ever want their freedom even though Hamas has done them dirty (not to mention Israel’s atrocities). It’s a failed solution and continuing it at this point is insane.
