    Yep, it’s easy to be a purist when you are insulated or feel outside of a system. It’s a lot harder to participate, compromise, and more importantly show solidarity towards achieving a goal. That’s why so many choose to virtue signal, and absolve themselves of culpability.

    That’s also how we knew they would immediately start to attack the next likely candidate.

      I’ve said this before: if Bernie got the nomination, they’d quickly turn on him too. No one is perfect enough for them. The purity test is the whole point.

      This comment is perfect and what I’ll use for the “but but the dems hate Gaza!” Crowd.
