"Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis. Thälmann famously said that ‘some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest’ of social democrats, whom he sneeringly called ‘social fascists.’
After Adolf Hitler gained power in 1933, Thälmann was arrested. He was shot on Hitler’s orders in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944."
That’s a neat way to say “being too lazy to actually make a difference, but I don’t want to feel bad about it”.
I don’t believe the way forward is by passing laws in a system that cannot be reformed into a good one, so it doesn’t make sense to judge my praxis by passing laws within said system.
I’ll just add that if you aren’t interested in passing laws you should vote for Harris if only to annoy the Right.
I think this right here illustrates your political views perfectly, “owning the chuds” is more important than actually working towards progress.

Name one piece of actual progress you’ve made. One would be nice.
You probably love to rail at Obamacare and point out that it was originally created by Mitt Romney.
Maybe the ACA wasn’t perfect, but 40 million people have some health insurance who wouldn’t have had it without Obama and the Dems.
What have you done that’s helped anyone?

It’s a simple question.
Either your way of doing things has produced results, or it hasn’t.
Talk all you want about ‘strawman’ and I’ll point to 40 million people with some kind of health care.
