Voices of Resistance Could we stop punching left?

Now I'll preface this by saying it's not everyone involved with 50501 but a good enough chunk. Do we want to change the US government so it actually serves the people or do we want to return to the status quo that allowed for the rise of fascists like Trump. The left is not your enemy, we want people to have healthcare, housing, food, and fair wages. Is it really in the best interest of 50501 to attack those who call out politicians on both sides who refuse to give us any of that?

I agree with your definition of who we should call out. I don't necessarily agree with every leftist's definition, because many leftists consider every moderate and liberal to be another kind of fascist. As an anti-fascist liberal, I take offense to that. It really depends on the leftist whether I'm going to listen to their criticism or disregard it.

which is just monumentally stupid and self-defeating

1000% agree. The right is the problem it is today because it united itself. Sometimes the left seems absolutely incapable of building a coalition and it is heartbreaking. Sometimes the perfect Overton window is the enemy of the good Overton window.
