Why do some scoff at "purists" when it suits them, and then shout, "Not pure!" when it suits them?

Why is it so difficult to just accept that humans themselves are not "pure", especially when we delve into every past opinion of every journalist and politician. I've given examples above. If we want to defeat the "racist fucks, Russian interference, and the LIES" we need to allow big tent access, for those that want the same outcome as we do. My gawd I swear there is more support for Republicans like Frum and Wilson, guys who will immediately flip, unlike Cenk, back to supporting the Republican party as soon as Trump is not a candidate anymore.

Does Cenk want to defeat the "racist fucks, Russian interference, and the LIES"? And elect a Democrat? If the answer is yes, then please. At least do the decent thing of " if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything".

The Young Turks help to get out the Democratic vote, especially among younger people. Can't you see the value in that?
