purity test

This thought-terminating cliche is an admission on the part of the person using it that they have no standards and expect everyone to their left to abandon theirs.

    It's a general term for what my side tends to do and it's accurate. You are truly blind to pretend it's not a problem, the left is anything but unified

    It’s a general term for what my side tends to do and it’s accurate.

    Your side uses the term to minimize legitimate criticism of your own worst actions because you want to continue or worsen them.

    You are truly blind to pretend it’s not a problem, the left is anything but unified

    Demands for unity from the "party unity my ass" wing. You want unity? Move left and show some damned solidarity with someone not named cheney or netanyahu.

    One group thinks incremental progress is better than going backwards

    The other group apparently thinks it's better to let it keep going backwards until it burns down so we can replace it all at once

    If they had supported genocide with the same incrementalist approach, no one would have complained because netanyahu would still be waiting on the first peashooter.

    "incrementalism" is just how people who don't want to keep their promises justify breaking their promises.

    Sounds good, I guess we'll just keep sliding the Overton window to the right in the meantime

    I mean, it's not like establishment democrats are interested in moving it to the left.
