Why does that disagree with me? To be a national movement with any power, it can't do these simple rhetorical concessions for nothing. It's a terrible strategy if that's the goal. People want someone representing the popular opinion of leftists about Israel, not someone willing to concede when pushed hard enough. That's how you lose that cycle
He hasn't lost any election, but he lost a strategic public image for no reason because he was likely to win the race either way! And now, if he loses, he didn't even prove anything about how terrible the propaganda machine is to expand the grassroots organizing! The energy will leave if he does anything more. I care way less now that I feel like he's slowly turning into Corbyn. I hope he can flip that, but the energy will dissipate because of such a thing. We've seen it often. It doesn't make him a DNC sellout, I disagree with comparing him to AOC. I think Corbyn is much more relevant, and he didn't learn the lesson. He's a radical that thinks downplaying that is strategic instead of uplaying it, and it won't help in the battle but will lose the war if he stays on that path. So hopefully hearing that you think we're more aligned than before?
