The reason to marginalize Piker is his pledge not to vote for the Dem nominee if it is Gavin Newsom.

you have two years to find someone to nominate that isn't virtually indistinguishable from a republican. maybe get on that instead of scolding people that won't vote for that piece of shit.

Me? I do?

Funny how y’all are eager to do the easy thing, assume an online posture, but the hard work of finding and supporting a nominee that suits your values is someone else’s job.

I’ve never heard or seen Piker before but I also pledge to not vote for the Dem nominee if it is Gavin Newsom.

So because Piker won’t support the guy who platforms Nazis and tries to promote transphobic propaganda constructed by pedophilic billionaires he should be marginalized?

Sounds like something a Trump supporter would say.

newsom isn't going to be the den nominee so it's a moot point. even the Dems aren't stupid enough to run California twice in a row

Unlike you, I don’t have a crystal ball but even if you’re right, this type of thinking damages nominees (MI, 2024).

You mean "having real beliefs"? Centrist types hate when you have those.

What is your point in hashtagging the term "purity politics" in your post? Does the hashtag raise awareness to the mere idea of arguments on purity politics in some way, via the search results for that hashtag? Will using that hashtag help usefully group all arguments it is used in?

Criticizing Gavin Newsone for constantly ceding ground to the right and enacting policies that make people's lives actively worse is purity politics apparently
