    The sad thing is that it works both ways. If a left party in government is improving things but had to do a compromise and therefore couldn’t go all the way the far left is also complaining about that.

    Compromise with far right positions should never happen, but compromise in itself is not something bad, and imho it’s one of the main problems in today’s democracy that too many people see it that way.

    Yep, this is a huge fucking problem.

    Top bad the often proposed suggestion of “let’s just skip right to the end” isn’t actually a solution.

      Thank you.

      Real sick of this argument right now. Just letting the right win because the left-most party is too willing to compromise isn’t a moral victory.

        The criticisms of the dem party don’t amount to “let the right win”, they amount to “the DNC prevents any political resistance to the right, they either need to be coup’d or destroyed if we want to stop the right from winning”
