Leftists: “We’re trying to convince you”
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. There will always be a more ideal goal. If you refuse to work towards something that's actually achievable because you want more, well, that's why leftists fight each other more than fighting the fascists that have taken over the usa and are well on the way to taking over the rest of the world too.
Voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil. Just because they're not as bad doesn't mean they aren't just as unpalatable to leftists.
Don’t let lesser be the enemy of what’s right. There will always be liberals seeking compromise on the right thing, and they’re wrong. That’s why the left fights and resists these right wing half measures.
I'll take what I can get.
And this is the hard part for most people: I don't stop there, because I've achieved goal 1 of 99 and the road is long and hard and where is everyone going
But historically, leftists in the strongest age of labor agitation have supported 'half-measures' that didn't bring about full socialism.
And that's why many leftist don't like the half-measures
