    Usually if you agree with 80% of what someone does you call them an ally.

    With some on the left if you don’t agree with 99.9% of what they do then they’re an enemy and it makes them useless as a political bloc.

    No matter how tough the single issue is you’ve got to look at the full picture and make a choice from there which I have.

    Biden is not a piece of shit and Trump is making the situation worse and the fault lays on people who voted for Trump or chose to stay home.

      Does it matter how morally bankrupt the 20% is?

      Asking before I pose any analogies you might think is unfair

          Idk man. If, just as an example, Biden “shot someone in the middle of 5th avenue”, i think it would be hubris to expect him not to lose any voters

          You can call that ‘purity testing’ if you want, but I’d say that the expectation for it to have no effect is just wishful thinking.

            You dont understand its actually really important that I be able to ignore the genocide and operate as if it isnt happening otherwise youre purity testing me and I cant accept being called a bad person for handwaving it away. This is why “the left” is so divided, too many people hung up on the genocide. What happened to imperfect allies! /s

      Biden is not a piece of shit

      So someone who enables genocide is not, in your moral framework, a piece of shit. Full stop. Not even a “lesser evil” argument, just straight out not-evil.

      Good that we’ve got that definitively stated.

        This feels like talking to anti-abortionist.

        ‘When the issue is killing babies there’s nothing to talk about.’

        I just posted this but it’s worth repeating.
