Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

When democrats win, nothing gets better either.

Bullshit lies and republican propaganda. Fuck off with your "both sides". Give Democrats power, and they make people's lives better.

When democrats had a supermajority for just a few months, they passed legislation that saved 20,000 lives and improved countless others.

I could find HUNDREDS of other examples, but I won't, because you won't listen, because you're a troll with an agenda. Fuck you and the elephant you rode in on.

Democrats: save 10s of thousands of people from dying

You: "eh, whatever"

And you wonder why Democrats pander to the moderates. Nothing is ever good enough for you people.

More genocide, record oil production, arming the border, starting new wars in the middle east. No that's not fucking good enough lol.

Keep shifting right, I'm sure that can't backfire.

Your purity testing is WHY we've been shifting right.

This is a long one, so I'm sure you won't bother, but it's an excellent deep dive into how "the perfect is the enemy of the good" has been borne out in the past few decades. TL;DR: left wing infighting has consistently ceded control to right wing fascists.

We're out of time on the climate my friend, I agree making perfect the enemy of good is a bad idea, unfortunately, business as usual neoliberalism and pumping record amounts of oil, isn't good. Too little too late, hopefully earth finds harmony after humans 🌎✌️
