I fight the battles of today while planning for the battles of tomorrow. Today, I’m willing to alliance all the way over to the Dems, because today’s MAGA conservatives pose an existential threat.

Once that threat is contained, my alliances shift left to the SocDems.

Once that battle is done, my alliances shift left to the DemSocs.

And so on, one battle at a time.

Not really, it was the negotiations and demands around those refusals. I object to any viewpoint that implies inaction itself is somehow revolutionary.

No one has ever earned anything by refusing to do something. You earn things by doing something else instead.

Without doing something else instead, refusal doesn’t accomplish anything.
