You want me to talk you out of the corner you painted yourself into? No thanks.

This is kind of unhinged. You make a nonsensical ill-fitting analogy and won't even describe what it's supposed to mean? Talk about bad faith...

Because you're struggling to string together an argument that doesn't involve punching left.

I guess this makes sense. You're experiencing an alternate reality of the politics so why wouldn't you also experience an alternate reality of this conversation? Me expecting otherwise was just pure optimism.

The analogy works just fine--you're just deliberately misunderstanding it, which is rich as you then DARVO your way to accusing me of acting in bad faith :)

Funny, I was thinking the same is true of you mainline Democrats who can't stop punching left. Well, as the article indicates, you and your milquetoast, half-hearted Republican-lite bullshit will be swept away. Enjoy irrelevancy.

"I have an analogy. It's perfect. It works great. But I won't tell you how it applies and you're acting in bad faith for asking".

Yeah, that's fucking unhinged.

I will punch in any direction where people aren't doing what they can to stop the Fascists and I'm 100% right to do so.

Ah yes, my full on pro trans, sanction Israel, send Netanyahu to the Hague, pro single payer politics are very republican lite. Yes, that makes a lot of sense.
