@RickiTarr By "fucking around like this" do we mean the fact that we (the left) are toxic to even our own people and even the slightest hint of nuance is enough to attack them, ultimately pushing more and more support over to the conservative side?
If so, then I agree, we cant afford to fuck around like this.
@RickiTarr It certainly isnt everyone, I agree. The problem is it often **looks** like it is everyone simply because they are the loudest and most memorable. Thats part of the problem, even when a few of a group do it it ruins it for the entire group.

Certainly. I am non-factional Vote Blue No Matter Who, but was a Biden primary voter. Love me some Bernie, would have voted for him too of course. He's got some followers I could do without, but I'm resistant to straw manning his movement because I live in a Bernie heavy area. My Berner neighbors are not performative nut jobs who miss the point, they're kind and decent people. Other people who only see the most toxic "rose Twitter" accounts are more prone to prejudice.
