He hasn't lost anything yet though! You're saying he's lost it already when nothing has changed. I think we agree on some stuff but the main point of contention is that him saying "okay maybe I won't say globalize the intifada" is some earth-shattering concession that proves he's a DNC sellout. Like he just did the Contrapoints post and now it's all over.

Have one more post but I think we both should just move on from this conversation.

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?
