No one seems to mind purity testing third party candidates.

And how many votes did all of the third parties get? not even enough to make a difference to a fart in the wind.

Moreover, Dems sued to keep the Socialist Workers' Party candidate, Claudia De La Cruz off the ballot -- but only in swing states. They knew they were selling a cold crap sandwich, and rather than change the message, they courted the far Reich wing.

They can not withstand criticism of what they’ve come to associate their identity with. It’s always that you just need to get in behind the party, no matter how bad the parties ideas are.

I see them as a mix of that, and loss aversion "FU I got mine!” voters. Rather than work to build up and promote a better candidate, they will absolutely push their drowning kindred under the water to keep themselves afloat.

They don't care. And when Reich Wing Lite loses to full - blown Reich Wing, they will cling bitterly to the idea it was people who envision better, for more of us and work for it, rather than take it for the data points from which to learn and envision better for everyone, and blame this who have the vision, grit, and gumption to work for it.

Fortune favors the bold. And rich.

During the presidential election, people considering third parties were dv'd to oblivion, Blue MAGA shouting that it wasn't the time. Guess what happens now every time someone suggests finding, running and supporting third party candidates?

Well said. I see this disgusting attitude among so many "leftists," even. It's disturbing.

They have, but largely revised history.

He is only telling a part of the truth, the palatable part, while disingenuously omitting the rest.
