    Maybe if liberals wanted a coalition with leftists, they'd try to do more than piss on our heads and say it's raining.

    Holy shit, this. It would be awesome if we got in a position where we could call liberals' bluff. They claim they're progressive like us but whenever its time to do anything they always worry about "what would the republicans think?" as if they're too worried they're going to end up in an SJW cringe compilation.

    It reminds me of innuendo studios alt-right playbook. Liberals are too concerned with taking the moral high ground to use these underhanded, but effective tactics the right does against them. In particular, I want to shout out this part of Innuendo Studios called the Cost of doing business. Democrats may not have to agree with us on paper, but if they want money and power, they would have to put up with us. Here's Innuendo Studios explaining it from the right's machine.. If it's possible, I would point this out that alienating progressives costs elections instead of embracing progressives, look at the rising union movement: only a fool would never take advantage of that, and here come the right ready to explain to them to blame Jews.

      The alt-right playbook is half of why I am a communism. When he said "If you want to fight fascism, move left." I know it seems obvious to us but it was a reaffirmation of decades of feelings I had but hadn't educated myself yet enough to put into words.
