I can't force you to understand that other people have different standards for who they will vote for than yours. That's not a shitty idea. That's recognizing the political reality as it exists. Democrats are gonna need the votes of these people.

As a recent example, I can imagine someone who came here as a refugee being hesitant to vote for someone who funds bombing refugee camps. I'm sure you'll yell at me for having enough empathy to understand that.

There are certainly people out there who will never understand that you can only maintain a diverse coalition through solidarity. By an astounding coincidence, they all seem to think that solidarity is something the party can demand from its constituents but can disregard in the other direction without consequence.

In any event, you don't understand because you're not here to understand. You're here to browbeat. You're doing a fantastic job of acting exactly like this is reddit.

You've adequately demonstrated what happens when someone deviates from centrist orthodoxy on lemmy. I thank you for your participation and will now withdraw mine.
