you know whats worse than writing political ads for your opponents?

writing political ads for you opponents based on something that has no chance in hell of passing anyway.

literally lose-lose.

seriously how can yall look at the 8 obama years and come to the conclusion that he should have pushed for something even *more* polarizing than the shit he was already catching flack for like obamacare, blm, etc.

if you wanna chase the white working class, white college educated suburbanites, *and* asians and hispanics out of the democratic caucus...then go for it.

you say putting politics above the premise is selfish. but potentially destroying your entire party for at least a generation and giving fascists nearly unchecked state and federal political power to inflict whatever damage they want to on the people you want to help/protect...what is that then?

obama was putting the safety and future of the country over his personal impulses. thats the opposite of selfish fam.

theres a difference between being an activist and a politician. activists can single-mindedly push for whatever their heart tells them to and they never have to take responsibility for the real world fallout on people like *and* unlike them.
