Thursday Toon Roundup 1: War for Peace

[MohRokTah]

68. I don't want the party to continue to move to the right.

And yes, the majority of the party is not progressive.

That's why Progressives must formulate coalitions on specific issues to move towards a progressive position while accepting that the totality of the desired outcome can never be reached immediately.

It's called politics for a reason.

When progressives demand ideological purity, all they accomplish is moving the party to the right. That's stupidity, IMO.

The ACA is the best example of a huge progressive win, and yet progressives whine because it did not go far enough. Meanwhile, realistic progressives understand that to get to the end state, which is single payer and potentially full socialization of medical care, steps must be taken along the way. Medicare was one such step. The ACA is another.

Realistic progressives are in it for the long game and refuse to give up and abandon the only party that offers a means to the desired end. Idiot progressives take their ball and go vote for the Green candidate.
