Yes, racism is the point.
You're claiming that rejecting racists as allies means the left is obsessed with purity, whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.
My point is that if you expect the left to accept racism, you probably don't know diddley shit about the left.
The left is all about incremental progress. That's all we've been able to do for centuries. Again, y'all don't seem to know anything about being left in the USA.
Sorry, but I'm not interested in hypothetical game theory.
I'm not going to apologize for drawing a line in the sand that excludes racists. It's a line that must be drawn.
If the left doesn't oppose racism, it stands for nothing.
Yes, we've all seen the Trolley Problem. It's bullshit.
Just like this entire question. People who hate DEI aren't trying to join the left. No one on the left has to reject racists because racists hate us too.
This whole thread is basically trying to split the left. But the funniest part is pretending the fascists and the racists aren't the same people.
The biggest loss would be aligning with racists.
I'm wondering if some people actually understand what being on the progressive left even means.
Partnering with racists makes you a racist, win or lose.
@FaceDeer @just_another_person @simplejack
I'll take nothing over partnering with racists.
Winning with racists is losing.
@FaceDeer @just_another_person @simplejack
I'm not going to partner with racists. I am not sorry.
If you are willing to work with fascists and racists, you are not my ally.

"I'm a huge racist, but I don't like Trump. Can I join your group?"
No.
That person should go find a "Racists Against Trump" group.
He should have thought of that before he enabled fascism.
Fuck Anthony Kennedy and the horse he rode in on.
"push all the moderates out of the Democratic Party so we’re left with only the truest most liberal of politicians. "
This is not a thing. It's not even close to reality.
My bad. Blaming my lack of reading comprehension on my lack of reading comprehension. Thanks for smacking me into consciousness.

Yes, racism is the point.
The extreme centrists can ally with them. I won't.
Thanks for your advice on how to left properly. I think I'll ignore it and keep voting left in Democratic primaries. We just need more Mamdanis and fewer Fettermans.
