Then we cannot possibly be primarily responsible when a Democrat candidate loses in the general election can we?
Are you acknowledging moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives?
Nope. What I'm saying is that you clearly have a minimal grasp on polling data, and that the consequences of ceding everything to your demands means ceding the entire election to Republicans because the offset from conservative swing voters is greater than the risk of progressives sitting out. One would be a terrible campaign advisor if you suggested this. Hence why Biden is toeing the line between publicly disavowing Israeli action, withholding Apache helicopters, labeling the bombings as indiscriminate, and clearly pivoting away from Israel but still trying to court the conservative and Jewish voters in America.
So until you can give a substantive, data-driven response as to how Biden can maintain or pick up voters without risking the entire election to the true fascist, then I don't buy your argument.
Ok then don't cede everything. Cede something. Make an offer.
