Allowing perfect to be the enemy of progress is how we got 47 in office again. Every. Single. Nation state. Commits war crimes. All of them. You (and a shit ton of other puritans) need to manage your risk model better. We need to do what we can in the face of injustice and electing warmongering Republicans into office ain't that. We can't negotiate with them. We would have been able to negotiate with a Harris administration.

Alright, guess we should pack it in. Failed the purity test. Can't make progress this time around folks, maybe next time we'll find a pure enough movement.

(I didn't see ANYTHING about Hands Off being pro-war or pro-Israel. But I guess not explicitly saying it's ANTI those things, means they're pro? Get the fuck outta here with your black and white thinking, asshole)

Why not both? We need to be hitting the road running from as many angles as we can to get people mobilized.
