"This is not the historical moment for an ethical purity test. In 2024, the Republican Party will likely run either twice-indicted, twice-impeached criminal con man Donald Trump or neo-fascist Florida governor Ron DeSantis. If you have the opportunity to vote against Nazis, vote against Nazis, because if they get to power, you won’t be voting again."

Can't agree more with what Greg Olear says here.
One of the biggest obstacles the liberal, or left-leaning, or progressive wing of the Democratic party faces in the US is the weak sense of solidarity of many of us on the left. We create ENDLESS divisive purity tests to rule everyone but our own tiny elite of purists out of the movement. We can't even welcome cracks in the massive solidarity of the Republican party when they come to us from deeply flawed Republicans now willing to speak out against Trump.
This is so self-defeating. It's so puerile and downright stupid, doing the work of the right for it by tearing at each other and fraying bonds of solidarity we sorely need to combat a creeping fascism with huge wealth and power standing behind it. The waste of time and energy we would so much better spend critiquing and challenging the political right, as we gnaw at each other — just colossally stupid.
