    Your comment perfectly represents the moral bankruptcy of the Democratic party. The obsession with elections and compromising, even when the midterms are almost two years away.

    A proper opposition party would hammer the substance and put the institutional failures on full display. If you don’t have principles, there’s no point to winning power anyway.

      By your logic, no one who opposed Hitler should have taken aid from the capitalist and racist Americans or the British empire.

      Look at the real world. the GOP is using every dirty trick imaginable, but we should lose with dignity and honor intact.

        Have you considered that maybe moral bankruptcy isn’t the most effective way to win elections, at least not if you’re presenting as the slightly-less-right-wing option? The Democratic party is broken, nobody is buying their shit any more, and that’s why someone like Trump can get elected. There is no opposition party. It’s not a problem that will get fixed by ignoring it.

        The American rushed to Berlin because communism was more scary than nazism

          I love the way you write off all the Asians who were getting killed by the Japanese. To say nothing of the US Merchant Marines who died delivering food and weapons to Murmansk. Stalin was the Donald Trump of his time.
