    One main issue with our progressive neighbors is they like to co-opt movements and take control of them and fight our class interests to protest the status quo.

      I see what you’re saying. If progressives do this, what do you suggest? Are you left of progressives? Sorry, I’m new to actively participating in these types of conversations. I want to help fight the status quo, hang billionaires and take care of marginalized peoples.

        I’m way left of progressives. They should have a voice but they need to understand this isn’t their movement to lead, most times they get in the way.

            Accept less than perfect

            That sounds a lot like liberal ‘shut up and do as you are told’ People have done that for decades and the only people things get better for are the rich.

            We don’t want perfection, we want equality and equity

              And then you’ll continue to get nothing while your opposites succeed at the game. You think evangelicals don’t want perfect authoritarianism? Of course they do. But they’re smart enough to know that they can only get there inch by inch by working with the middle over time, and not seeming extreme.

              You can either get over yourself and work strategically, or you can continue to fail against those that do.

              And as your pride prevents the former, we slide farther right. But go on, stomp your feet about it. Maybe this time it’ll help.
