"Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst ThƤlmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, ThƤlmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis. ThƤlmann famously said that āsome Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forestā of social democrats, whom he sneeringly called āsocial fascists.ā
After Adolf Hitler gained power in 1933, ThƤlmann was arrested. He was shot on Hitlerās orders in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944."
I donāt believe the way forward is by passing laws in a system that cannot be reformed into a good one, so it doesnāt make sense to judge my praxis by passing laws within said system.
I think this right here illustrates your political views perfectly, āowning the chudsā is more important than actually working towards progress.
Iām sure your outside organizing will be much easier under the āletās arrest or deport everyone that does agree with us, burn all the books with ideas we donāt agree with, and youāll never have to vote againā candidate.
Name one piece of actual progress youāve made. One would be nice.
You probably love to rail at Obamacare and point out that it was originally created by Mitt Romney.
Maybe the ACA wasnāt perfect, but 40 million people have some health insurance who wouldnāt have had it without Obama and the Dems.
What have you done thatās helped anyone?
What on Earth is this strawman tangent? Touch grass.
Itās a simple question.
Either your way of doing things has produced results, or it hasnāt.
Talk all you want about āstrawmanā and Iāll point to 40 million people with some kind of health care.
Youāre still attacking a strawman, lmao. Again, touch grass.
Letās turn it around.
Explain why me asking you to produce actual results is a āstrawman.ā
You keep saying it, so you must have an idea of what it means.
I have never railed at Obamacare, nor do I point out that it was created by Romney. You spent the next several comments working off of that same false assumption.
No, I asked you to provide some actual results youāve produced.
I cited the ACA as an example of something that has produced results.
You still havenāt shown anything like actual progress.
